This 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc IGT wine is full-bodied and complex with overtones of vanilla and a deep, intense color. Black currants, cassis, cherries, and tobacco linger on the nose. Flavors of black fruits, especially black cherry, spice, and vanilla meld together in perfect harmony. A rich, seductive wine with ripe tannins and a long finish that pairs well with most full flavored main courses.
Cabernet Sauvignon with its distinctive black currant aroma can develop bouquet nuances of cedar, violets, leather, or cigar box. Cabernet Franc may be both fruitier and sometimes more herbal or vegetative than Cabernet Sauvignon, although lighter in both color and tannins. It can be somewhat spicy in aroma and often reminiscent of plums and especially violets.
