The Cabernet here refers to both of them: Sauvignon and Franc, which together make up 60% of the blend with 40% being Syrah. Aged 24 months in a mixture of French and American oak. Aromas are black dominated to the tune of berry, cherry and pepper … the palate has some gorgeous fruit and secondary character: cassis and blackberry along with black pepper, tobacco, cocoa and vanilla – share with friends over a meal or, if you’re more apt, hoard it for yourself; but at this price sharing is caring.
