Comprised of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, this blend is mad in the style of the wines of St. Emillon on the Right Bank in Bordeaux. The name is a contraction of the words Cedar and Ponderosa and is inspired by the cedar trees which are a feature of the estates in Bordeaux, metaphorically representing the nobility, longevity, and strength of the local wines. This wine exhibits notes of blackberry, currant, cassis and licorice. This vintage gave us the most ripe and supple tannin structure that I have yet seen. Cabernet Franc adds some structure to the finish. More tannin ripeness means that, while this wine should greatly reward a year or two of cellaring I would tend to enjoy these extraordinary reds in the next four or five years.
