This wine is a silky and plush blend of 50% Merlot 40% Cabernet and 10% Cabernet Franc from the Red Willow Vineyard. This rich wine begins with aromatics of graphite, red cherry, black raspberry liquor, black olive, provencal herbs, showing impressive aromatic range and wonderful terroir. There are rich flavors of black cherry, red raspberry preserves, milk chocolate, creosote, and dried herbs. This has considerable fruit weight and intensity, with light tannins. There is a wonderful seamless quality to this excellent wine. Be sure to give this an hour decant if enjoying in its nascent phase. (Best 2017-2028) - April, 2017 (OB)
