75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc from the Pine Mountain-Cloverdale Peak AVA, this blend competes with the best of Right Bank Bordeaux. Minty herbs spring from the glass, followed by earthy red and black berries. The fruit carries onto the palate, and is complemented by flavors of wet stone and layers of gentle velvety tannin, with traces of leather on the finish. Like its Bordeaux counterpart, enjoy with marbled red meats and rich cheeses.
