Brandied cherries, cola and a touch of Cointreau. Subtle notes of vanilla and sweet spice compliments of a measured use of oak. In what was a decidedly trying vintage for growers and winemakers alike, this blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc more than lives up to the standards set by its predecessors. Higher acidity and balanced tannin secure its longevity. An overlooked vintage that is now proving to be a favorite of novices and wine geeks alike. The secret is out, so stock up now!
