and proprietor Nik Weis – continued their streak of highly successful harvests this year

50% of the volume was fermented with destemmed Cabernet Franc and full-cluster Malbec

anise and clove plus discreet mineral nuances that are set off by enough wood to warrant mentioning

plum and sandalwood

This is really quite good and should drink well both young and with a few years of age
