A muscular style, with well-framed flavors of raspberry, red currant and plum that are filled with vibrant acidity. Firm tannins show on the finish, featuring notes of slate and spice. Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Drink now through 2022. 250 cases made, 50 cases imported.
The one wine that is released much later is the 2013 Piantao, a Cabernet Franc-based blend with some 7% Malbec and 3% Merlot. It fermented in concrete and matured in oak barrels (90% of them third use and the rest new and larger, 500-liter ones) for some 30 months, hence the later release date. Somehow, I saw less oak here than in previous vintages, and even less than the 2014 Field Blend that I tasted next to it. The palate is medium-bodied, with a creamy texture, fine-grained tannins and a good finish. 3,000 bottles were filled in August 2016.
