Some cardamom and salted butter

A well-balanced mouth

I like the savory notes here with gentle earthy and saline hints to the stone fruit

20% whole bunch

This is very primary and fruit driven

Canard Vineyard Adam's Blend Red, Napa Valley, USA 2021 Château Maris Some cardamom and salted butterThis Cabernet Franc dominant blend bridges the two styles from the Left and Right Bank of Bordeaux and expresses all the finesse and elegance indicative to this noble grape. Medium bodied with notes of violets, rose petals, red fruits and spice makes this wine incredibly versatile and food friendly. A smooth delicate entry yields to great structure and a long finish of ground rose buds, cocoa, rhubarb, sweet cranberries and cherries. 95 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
