2020 Cabernet Blend

Score: 93

"This is a blend of 85% Cabernet Franc from the Twenty Mile Bench and 15% Merlot from Four Mile Creek, all sourced fruit. The fruit was hand-picked over two days, wild fermented and aged in neutral French oak for 20 months. This has a beautifully perfumed nose of pure black cherries, cassis, ripe raspberries, sweet herbs, anise and a deft touch with fine oak spices. The fine-grained tannins on the palate offer structure to go with the juicy red berries, blackberries, pepper, mulled herbs, anise/licorice, and spice in an elegant, concentrated style that is lifted and long on the tangy finish. Can cellar until 2034."
