Very pretty, enticing aromas of sweet herbal notes, pink peppercorn, tarragon, spice, and a medley of red and black fruit on a wine that hasn't fully come out of its shell. The palate is power packed, sultry, and smooth with chocolate and cherry flavors, firm but refined tannins, and a gorgeous mouthfeel. Ramps up in power and intensity the longer it is open. A very high quality wine for the price with a long life ahead of it. 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc. Red Willow, Bacchus, and Klipsun vineyards. Aged 20 months in French oak (50% new). 14.5% alcohol. 350 cases produced. Sample provided by winery
