WineDiva's Review

Modern, generous, oaky.
Made from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, this scented red doles out vanillin oak, black cherries, mocha and licorice aromas that morph into a palate with generous fruit, along with fine spice and oak flavours. It has grippy tannins, and a bitter finish of tealeaf and charred cocoa.
