Plush, with a blood orange note out front followed by darker plum and blackberry flavors along with anise and roasted apple wood hints. This is very polished and integrated feel, with a solid build.

A final blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 Hosanna is deep garnet-purple in color with a nose that simply sings of violets, chocolate-covered cherries and exotic spices with a core of crème de cassis, fragrant earth and blueberry pie plus a waft of wild thyme. The palate is medium to full-bodied, velvety, rich and seductive with tons of black and blue fruit layers, finishing with those exotic spices coming through.

This shows a very long finish with pretty fruit and sophisticated tannins. Chewy and exciting.

With 30% Cabernet Franc, this is a finely perfumed wine from a small 11-acre property. It is poised and balanced, with dark tannins and a dense, smoky character that will allow it to age well. It has power and excellent potential, and will likely to be ready to drink from 2023.
