| This unique partial-appassimento is an ever-changing blend that this time has a deep purple-red colour. The nose shows excellent complexity with somewhat earthy, ripe, plum-crancherry fruit along with violet-rose-tinged, cedar-sandalwood notes. Dry, medium-plus bodied and well structured with intense, bright, ripe, plum-crancherry flavours followed up by a lingering, crisp, cedar-sandalwood finish. It has a hefty 14.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar. This tasty new blend of 35% Cabernet Sauvignon (was 88%), 38% Cabernet Franc (was 12%) and 27% Merlot (none before) was aged for 18 months in French oak with some 13% of the grape clusters being kiln-dried for approximately 100 days. The lot number L2023 03 22 appears on the lower part of the glass bottle. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, this wine is made in a partial appassimento style with some of the fruit being dried before winemaking. The wine spends 16 months in a combo of French and American oak, creating a rich, round mouthfeel. Expect stewed blackberry, cherry and clove, and pair with caramelizedeggplant pizza, or seared duck with huckleberry sauce. |
