The story behind this wine goes something like this: 3 winemakers got together to pick the best of 5 blends, in the end 2 were selected, massaged and voila! a new whimsical story for a Whimsy! wine. A blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with 26% Cabernet Franc added. The nose is full of cedary-raspberry notes, while the palate plays off the cedar adding raspberry, cranberry and cracked black pepper with that cedar kicking around in the background. The finish continues with vanilla, cranberry and yes, cedar. Its’ quite tasty … especially is cedar is your thing. Price: $34.95 – Rating: ****
