"90 pts ... Medium ruby. Highly aromatic nose combines blackberry, licorice, roasted herbs and a whiff of ripe tomato. Sweet, supple and lush-in fact rather soft for cabernet franc-with palate-saturating flavors of dark berries and milk chocolate. The note of beefsteak tomato carries through in the mouth. A deep wine with sweet, smooth, ripe tannins and lingering notes of tomato and wild herbs."--01/11 Winemaker's Notes
"�A paramount Cabernet Franc, dark-garnet in hue and deeply aromatic. In the nose, the roasted red bell peppers dominate at first, giving way to blackberries and licorice. Flavors of dark berries and milk chocolate fill the mouth, while polished, velvety tannins caress the palate, followed by a long juicy finish. " |
