description: Strong whiffs of barrel, cracker, toast, butterscotch and a hint of leather take off in the beginning, but behind it all is solid, ripe, plentiful black cherry fruit. There is also a strong streak of mint running through the middle, and the wine has good weight and texture across the palate. It's muscular without being clunky; there is substance here but it is elegantly displayed, with particularly good tannin management.
variety: Cabernet Franc
designation: Parris
