Cabernet Franc dominates this wine blend, which starts out aggressively with wood and spice dominating, pretty much everything; but given time the fruit begins to show through, namely black fruit, a la cassis and blackberry with pepper, smoke and tobacco going along for the ride … there’s some American oak sweetness about this wine and there’s also a long dry finish – but with time it’s the fruit that should shine through, say 2-3 years.
