creosote and herbs

12% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot aged 22 months in 100% new French oak

both on its own or at the dinner table

Here is a straight shooting and enjoyable expression of Sangiovese

yet it's very balanced and elegant too

Faurie, Hermitage Bessard Meal other_regions creosote and herbsInky ruby. Suave, mineral and spice accented aromas of blackberry, cherry and pungent flowers show superb clarity and energetic lift. Sappy and penetrating on the palate, displaying concentrated, sharply defined black blue fruit, violet pastille and spicecake flavors that become livelier as the wine opens up. Finishes extremely long and mineral, with intense, spicy thrust, a hint of cracked pepper and youthfully chewy tannins. (red capsule) Josh
