Makes a classic impression from the outset with ripe but contained red and dark-berry aromas, framed in cedar, blackcurrants and violets. The palate has exceptional depth and very focused, pristine red-plum and cherry flavors hold long and seamless into the finish. A vibrant young wine. Younger cabernet (54 pecent) meets old merlot (38 percent) and cabernet franc (8 percent) in this blend.
