“This woodsy, rich wine has real backbone while maintaining freshness – like a heavy weight boxer that is light on his feet.”
ā Philippe & Cherie Melka, Proprietors
Vineyards
Both the Cabernet Franc and Merlot were planted first on this parcel of land in 2004. Ā Their age and our understanding of the vineyard have allowed us to craft an amazing blend from this Estate. Ā The aromatics are distinctive for the varietals – fig jam, dried violet, cedar, black pepper, lavender and red currant fruits. Ā Big, sumptuous and very concentrated, this wine is opulent without being heavy. Ā It finishes long with unexpected freshness. Ā Recommended to decant.
