Very floral nose with exceptional complexity. On the palate, fine balance on the attack continues with good flavor expression before a fairly long finish with lovely structure, still lively and with a hint of oak.

The purity of fruit is so enticing here with strawberries, flowers, lavender and currants. Black earth, too. Some stone and cement. Its full-bodied with firm, fine tannins. It shows so much cabernet sauvignon character.

Blend: 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc
