Each variety is fermented on the other’s skins in a twist of technique. The swagger here is palpable and the deep dark berries are laced with flowers and delivered in pure, unadulterated form. So good! A blend of 51% malbec and 49% cabernet franc.
90 WE 2018
This wine is almost equal parts Cabernet Franc (51%) and Malbec. The aromas suggest notes of cedar, coffee, citrus and cherry. Tangerine peel and plum flavors follow, bringing pleasing purity and plushness. The tannin's give a light squeeze. It’s a lot of wine for the money. Give it a short decant and pair it with grilled lamb shank.
93 JS 2019
Each variety is fermented on the other’s skins, to add another layer of complexity. A herbal nose with notes of blackberries, white smoke, blueberries and baked cherries. Full-bodied with fine, slightly chewy tannins. Rich and balanced, with great clarity and levity. Nimble on the palate, while still packing a punch. 51% cabernet franc and 49% malbec. Best after 2024.
