Description
In their first year CREW made a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot blend – this year they saved the Sauv for a standout solo bottling and instead blended the Franc with the Merlot … with more great results. The nose is fruit forward with some cinnamon added to the dark fruit and sweet beets. The taste is smooth and lush with black cherries and spice – light on tannins, so it’s an easy drinker, and well integrated with its wood, which it hung out in for 10 months.
