A tasty blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo that spent 12 months in French oak, it shows cherry fruit with a hint of herbaceousness in a supple, medium-bodied wine. Think generous cru bourgeois.

Cinnamon and spice aromas are masked by some sulfurous odors. The flavors aren’t particularly defined, but what’s there is a bit green: bell peppers and underripe cherries. Lean and green would be the quick take; some woody notes bring it home.
