WINEMAKER'S TASTING NOTES:

Deep red in colour with a bouquet of dark cherries and undertones of graphite and the traditional musk and perfume notes associated with mature Cabernet Franc. On the palate the increased portion of Petit Verdot this vintage adds hints of blueberry that give the mid-palate both weight and viscosity. Acidity and tannin blend together to create a silky fine-grained structure that is deceptive given the power and aging potential in this year's Destinae.

 

ENJOY FROM: 4-10+ years from vintage
