A Cabernet Franc and Merlot blend that opens withripe cherry and strawberry licorice aromas, with hints of menthol. Commanding juicy dark fruits of blackberry and wildberries, with slivers of slate notes that are layered around a subtle core of refreshing acidity. A casing of cohesive, velvety tannins position itself as a well-balanced wine to be enjoyed now through 2031. 91 Points
