A zesty, racy, somewhat classic Bordeaux style dry red. A classic "tightly-wound" dry red with lots of tannins and crisp fruit. I'm having a hard time describing this red made primarily from Frontenac and Montepulciano with slight amounts of Mourvedre and grenache. Intense. There's a word.
Notes
A joy to make such a racy red. A wine only for those that can handle an intense, dry red, with closed fruit that needs to breathe for it to open up.
