description: This is an unusual blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. At the age of nearly five years, it's already throwing some sediment, but is still superfruity, offering an explosion of raspberries, cherries and currants. The oak remains unintegrated, and as a result the wine is jammy and direct. But that's now. It has the inherent sweetness and balance to age for another 4-6 years, so stash it until 2014 and see what happens.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Chesler
