Made in what the producer calls a
Right-Bank Tradition, this red wine combines 69% Cabernet Franc with 27%
Merlot and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon to classy, restrained effect. Perfumed
in cedar and pencil shavings, it has fine, integrated tannins and an
elegance to the lengthy, cassis-kissed finish. - -V. B. (11/1/15)
