Fully ripened 73 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc and 19% Merlot has produced a full bodied style with plenty of cool climate charm and elegance.

The vibrant palate is firm but elegant featuring liqueur cherries and plum fruits with some sweet oak/cedar characters derived from 18 months maturation in French oak casks.

Beautiful cigar box perfume and smoothness will develop with cellaring over 10 to 20 years in a good cellar.
