A blend of 43% Cabernet Franc, 43% Merlot, 8% Malbec, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is one impresses each year and this colder vintage example is no exception. It saw 20 months in French oak and has developed a feminine nose of rose petals and red cherry. This reticent style yields flavors of black olive, black tea, blueberry and creme de cassis. Beautifully made wine, one of the better Cab Franc wines from this vintage. Like the Star, this one will need another two years for the fruit to better integrate. (Best 2017-2025) - August, 2015 (OB)
