TASTING NOTE: A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot with 15% of the fruit dried appassimento style for 3-4 months and then aged in three types of oak for 26 months. It's rich and layered on the nose with dark cherry, thick raspberry, cassis, cocoa and spice. It's complex on the palate, big in fact, with concentrated red fruits, fine tannins, licorice, plums and length through the finish. Score - 90 (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, Nov. 5, 2016) |
