Review:
Sweetness in the aromas and a broad, generous palate make this tempting to drink right away. It is medium-bodied and rich in tannins and black fruit. 15% merlot softens the cabernet franc. Opens with raspberry and red cherry aromas, then transitions to darker black cherries and dried blueberries. A new offering from the Verite winery. Drink now or hold.
