Tasting Note:July 15, 2016

Garnet red. Nose started out with some woody notes, mulberries and soft dark fruits like plums. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) and good acidity. Solid red fruits and some twigs on the palate. Medium bodied and moderate finish. There is something a little off-putting in the finish, a little metallic.

Bordeaux blend made of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 23 months in French oak barrels.
