The Winemaker

This wine possesses all the true characteristics evident of these right bank varieties. The Cabernet Franc lends its great finesse and
delicate violet perfume complimented beautifully by the rich dark fruits of the Merlot.
The palate encounters true tannin refinement and silky poise complimented by a distinctive minerality while the finish refelects the wine's true essence with a soft and elegant linger.

René Gabriel: 18/20 Points

The Wine Enthusiast: 90/100 Points

Vintage 2005: This alluring Cabernet Franc-Cabernet Sauvignon blend starts with aromas of black cherry, violets and black currant, leading into waves of black fruit and spice. Structured but smooth, it has a classic, ageable quality. Good minerality gives it an upright character. Delicious now, but definitely can be held.
