[Cuvee / fr: - a blend or mixture / us: - meritage]
As you approach this Gold Medal winning Cuvée its Cabernet Franc nose comes up at you from the glass with youthful aromas of fresh coffee grounds and black fruits. The Cabernet Sauvignon component shows lovely fruit immediately evident on entry with wonderful textures, massive yet soft and luscious, but backed up by supple tannins and correct acidity giving this wine perfect balance.
The texture is fresh with vigorous style and a silky finish. A delightful, well-bred wine with a paradoxically enticing manner of managing strong peppery spices in foods drawing out the true essence of the primary food flavor.
