Description
This blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc and 8% Merlot is one of the three benchmarks from Tua Rita. Merlot was harvested first in mid-September, and the Cabernets came off the vines in October, without a cloud in the sky. The wine shows the heft and determination you should expect, although this vintage reveals a magically delicate and elegant side with aromas of blue flowers, spice and wild plums. The wine is also light and fresh on the palate with a surprising degree of weightlessness, yet the persistence is long and polished.
