"Cabernet Franc-dominated and all from the estate in Coombsville, the 2023 Right Bank Blend was aged 22 months in 55% new French oak and shows darker cherries, redcurrants, tobacco, and smoky, herbal, floral notes. Based on 70% Cabernet Franc, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 13% Merlot, it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, layered, seamless mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and nicely integrated acidity. It's a complex, nuanced, incredibly satisfying effort to drink over the coming 15 years or so. Drink 2025-2040."
