Product Highlights
Beautiful Loire cabernet franc typicity immediately on the nose with red currant, iron, tobacco and pepper notes. A great balance of savory to fruit character on the palate, with well integrated tannins and acidity. A complex, well-crafted young red at an outstanding price!

Very dark purple in color and boasts savory aromas of ripe dark berries, cherries, plum, rich toasty notes, with a hint of roast game. The flavors mimic the aromas on this well-balanced petite sirah. It's well structured, with a silkiness that belies the weight and big body of this wine. The finish is long and luxurious.

Expert Reviews
Plenty of dried flowers to the blackberry and bark aromas and flavors. It’s full and very powerful. Chewy tannins and a dry yet fruity finish. If you like tannins, go for this. Typical petite sirah.

Cocoa, clove and blackberry flavors spill out of this firmly tannic but also rich and juicy wine. It is full bodied and grippy in texture yet has a fresh, ready-to-drink style that will pair perfectly with rich, even spicy-hot, meaty dishes.
