International Wine Cellar, November 2011
90 pts. Medium ruby. Highly aromatic nose combines blackberry, licorice, roasted herbs and a whiff of ripe tomato. Sweet, supple and lush-in fact rather soft for cabernet franc-with palate-saturating flavors of dark berries and milk chocolate. The note of beefsteak tomato carries through in the mouth. A deep wine with sweet, smooth, ripe tannins and lingering notes of tomato and wild herbs.
