Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes: 89 points, Wine Advocate; A wine that reveals considerable richness and depth while maintaining a pure, crystalline quality in its dark, varietal fruit. This is 40% Syrah, 30% Cabernet Franc and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 6 months in used French oak barrels.
My Review: This was the last wine from the Saturday wine tasting at the vintage cellar. On the nose I could smell the oak. When I tasted the wine, the wine really coated my palate. I tasted an overall woodiness with a hint of a darker fruity flavor that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I didn't consume any food with this wine.
