"This has attractive mint, chocolate and bell pepper notes to the strawberry, plum and violet aromas. It's structured and chewy on the palate but well integrated, with firm tannins and a full body. Focused. 27% merlot, 27% cabernet franc, 22% cabernet sauvignon, 14% syrah, 5% malbec and 5% petit verdot. Sustainable. Drink or hold."
