Color
Medium garnet with ruby hues
Nose
Ripe cherry, framboise, hints of pie crust and brioche. Sweet-glazed donuts, dried herbs.
Palate
Silky and broad — softer than Cabernet Sauvignon yet fuller than Cabernet Franc. Marshmallow-like mid-palate texture with sneaky tannins that reappear late. Juicy red berries framed by caramel and clove. Drying and herbal finish.
