A blend of four Bordeaux varietals, this wine makes a lasting impression.
Aromas of vanilla, dark cherries, and a touch of earth from the forest floor introduce this classic blend. A touch of American oak coupled with Malbec bring forth the sweetness of chocolate while the Cabernet Franc stands bold and angular. Tannins are indicated by a touch of rusticity on the finish. This wine would pair well with hearty beef dishes.
