Gorgeous energy and polish from this second label. Dark cherry and violet notes flow with graceful intensity, while the Cabernet Franc component brings lifted aromatics and spice. Medium-bodied with supple tannins that caress rather than grip. Drinking beautifully now but will gain complexity over 2-3 years.
