A brilliant debut. For sale only at the winery. A Meritage type wine, featuring a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Earthy, dusty, very complex red wine, with mostly berry fruit. The best example of this classic Cabernet in many years.
Case purchases highly recommended.
Very ripe, intense black cherry and currant fruit. Tremendous depth and length of flavor. Long, silky, supple, succulent finish. In what may be the most important change in the laws regulating the sales of wine, beer and spirits in the United States since the Repeal of Prohibition, the state of Louisiana's legislature has passed and its governor has signed into law, a bill providing for wineries and retailers in any of the other 49 states to ship directly to Louisiana consumers. In a world of mail order and Internet sales of every imaginable kind of product, it's difficult to conceive that interstate wine sales are banned by most states, even wine-oriented states like California, Washington, Oregon and New York.
