This blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon and 46% Cabernet Franc is a backward wine that exhibits considerable promise. The dark opaque ruby/purple color is accompanied by a bouquet that reluctantly offers up scents of cassis herbs and damp earth. The wine is rich structured and full-bodied with copious amounts of cassis flavors density without heaviness and an overall sense of balance moderate tannin and crisp acidity. Give it 1-2 years of cellaring; it should drink well for 10-15 years.
