This was aged 22 months in French oak (Taransaud and Nadalie) prior to bottling. The wine a blend of 60% Merlot with 40% Cab Franc. It opens with aromas of dill, red bell pepper and anise. There are flavors of dill, red bell pepper and red cherry. This is forward and delicious that is hard to resist right now. (Best 2015-2024) - December, 2015 (OB)
