Nose
Approachable and fruit-forward, with fresh red fruit — cherry, raspberry, and red plum — alongside subtle cedar notes.
Palate
Round and generous, with ripe red fruit flavors that are amplified by a touch of residual sweetness. The estate Merlot contributes a soft, plummy quality while the Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon provide enough structure to keep the wine grounded. The split aging, half in provides oak aging characters with fresh fruit clarity, giving the wine more dimension.
