The Lurton family is so steeped in Bordeaux Grand Cru wine making that they could make wine anywhere in the world and it would be incredible. This is a beautifully constructed blend of 66% Cabernet sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 9% Merlot from Sonoma County, CA. Aged 12 months in 40% new French oak barrels. Attractive aromas of plum, cherry. Flavors of black fruits, vanilla, chocolate, spices. Medium bodied, silky tannins, lively acidity, lingering finish.
