CRITICAL ACCLAIM

James Suckling - "A Bordeaux-style blend dominated by 55% cabernet franc, the wine has a pretty, floral aroma, inviting red fruit flavors and silky tannins, so it’s easy to sip even at a young age. Tastes nicely ripe, almost sweet, but not at all thick or cloying. Drink now or hold."
