Tasting Notes: A deep garnet hue sets the stage for an expressive bouquet of blackberry, ripe plum, and dark cherry, complemented by hints of mocha, vanilla, and warm baking spices. The Cabernet Franc (50%) lends vibrant red fruit and subtle herbal notes, while the Merlot (25%) adds a velvety texture and rich, juicy depth. Syrah (25%) rounds out the blend with bold dark fruit, pepper, and a touch of smokiness. The result is a full-bodied yet beautifully balanced wine, with silky tannins and a lingering, elegant finish.
