Built around Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc and inspired by the Ripasso style of Italy's Veneto region, this wine underwent a second fermentation on the skins from the winery's dried Merlot grapes before spending 14 months in new French oak. The result is a complex affair showing layers of big dark fruit, impressive richness and heft, and a nice flourish of vanilla and spice on the finish. Enjoy over the next decade with flavourful meat dishes and cheeses. (VINTAGES panel, Sept. 2013)
