A gorgeous Cab-based blend with 17% Cab Franc, 15% Petit Verdot and 7% Merlot, Edom is rich and seductive. Sultry notes of mulled boysenberry and blackberry are infused with cigar tobacco, cedar and roasted cocoa nib accents. A strong structure of firm tannins and moderate acidity carry through to the black-pepper-flecked finish.

Dense layers of dark fruits—black plum, cassis and cherry—integrate with complex accents of black tea leaves, tanned hide and woody spice. Supporting tannins provide the palate a firm structure, framing the lush, concentrated black-fruit-driven flavor. Drinkable now, but it should age nicely though 2016.

Decadent berry compote leads the bouquet of this wine, while secondary notes of fig and date unfold on the back. The balanced, medium-weight mouth is rich and ripe, with assertive flavors of cherry skin, fudgy chocolate and sweet woody spice that flood the palate and linger on the finish.

A powerful yellow floral character dominates the bouquet of this wine, with supporting aromas of peach pit, hard pear and delicate toast rounding it out. The palate is full and creamy, but lifted by citrus-driven acidity and a wood-spice finish.

A bit closed—give this wine some time in the open bottle or glass to better express iteself. Black plum and berry fruit lead the nose and palate, with more intensity appearing alongside the additional spicy notes of licorice stick and coffee grounds.

Draws you in with its brilliant ruby color and assertive bouquet of dark plum, black cherry and berry nuanced with menthol and dirt. A full, round mouthfeel and soft, fleeting tannins showcase the wine’s solid balance, and the strong finish is not sweet or overdone.

A well-made Cab Franc with typical characteristics of the varietal—green pepper, tobacco and ash, along with solid red fruit aromas and flavors of plum and strawberry. Lean but satisfying in the mouth with soft, dusty tannins and a medium-length finish; drinkable now but would also be fine with a little more time in the cellar.
