The nose shows classic Burgundian character with round black cherry and cassis then evolves into hints of ripe strawberry. Kirsch combines with cardamom and white pepper and the long finish carries with it classic fresh bright cherry notes.

Truly a wine that was made in the vineyard. The hard work and dedication to detail of the grower are reflected in this big, deeply colored Cabernet Franc—exuding mocha, ripe berries, and hazelnuts.

Deep rich color with a unique bouquet of pepper, smoked wood, hay and leather. It has an accent of black currant. A velvety feel in the mouth but with strong and long tannins. It should be paired with strongly flavored food, robust meat and aged cheeses.
