Tasted by Mike Supple - 16 Jan 2009
Dark ruby core with a medium rim. Cola and black cherry aromas are surrounded by fresh new oak, all underscored by burnt charcoal and a hint of crushed violets. Smooth entry on the palate with ripe red and black cherries accented by sweet marjoram and other herbs. A touch of dark earth on the mid-palate gives way to spicy cedar on the finish.
70% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot.

Purple core with a lighter rim. Smoke and gravel waft from the glass, supported by darker blueberry and cherry fruit. Black licorice candy on the palate with some juicy black cherry and a touch of earth. Thick on the mid-palate with a light tannic grip on the back end. Decent, but not particularly well balanced.
