Description
Remarkably youthful with dark red hues. This full-bodied wine displays complex layers of Cassis, dark and red fruit on the nose with beautiful perfumy nuances. On the palate, a combination of dark fruit flavors from the Cabernet Sauvignon and fresh vibrant red fruit and soft floral notes from the Cabernet Franc.
