46% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot, 24% Petit Verdot. Deep purple in color, this Bordeaux-style blend opens with brooding aromas of violets, kirsch, raspberry, black plum, blackberry, and lingonberry, accented by subtle hints of bell pepper and graphite. On the palate, flavors unfold with notes of rose, red cherry, dried herbs, white pepper, bread dough, vanilla, nutmeg, smoke, walnut, dried cranberry, earth, and wet leaves. This dry wine balances medium acidity with medium-plus chalky tannins, delivering a medium-plus body and concentrated flavor intensity that carries through a lengthy medium-plus finish.
Food Pairing: Herbed crusted chops, rosemary-garlic beef tenderloin, grilled duck, mushroom, berry reduction, lentil. Medium hard cheese like aged gouda, comte, manchego
