The Cabernet Franc lead blend is incredibly sleek and lithe, silky textured with fine grained powdery tannins underpinned by deliciously bright vivacious acids and a real persistence of black berry, red currant and pithy brambly fruits and a granite liquid minerality that punctuates the seamless finish.

Tasting Notes
JancisRobinson.com 16.5
You can smell ripe Cabernet Franc on the nose! Lovely silky fruit and soothingly smooth, suave tannins. Malbec brings a dark-indigo swirl of inky calligraphy. It s a conservative, classic but well-modulated cuvee. Real family Sunday roast wine!
Anticipated maturity: 2026-2033

This beautifully styled Bordeaux blend of 60% Cabernet Franc, 20% Malbec and 20% Merlot was matured for 12 months in used French oak barrels. The aromatics are elegantly perfumed, brimming with fragrant violets, sandalwood, dried thyme and a vibrant melange of red and black berries with a sappy, cedar spice complexity. This Cabernet Franc lead blend is incredibly sleek and lithe, silky textured with fine grained powdery tannins underpinned by deliciously bright vivacious acids and a real persistence of black berry, red currant, and pithy brambly fruits with a granite liquid minerality that punctuates the seamless finish. This is true class personified. Frink now to 2040+.
