Carmen Stevens Petrichor

Deep ripe cherry colour. The wine displays an array of sweet ripe black currant berries with ripe cherries and vanilla notes from time in oak barrels. The wine is soft on the nose with hints of sweet spices. The palate entrance is smooth and soft with a hint of freshness. The mid-palate that follows, gives a sweetish impression, and flows to ripe blackberry fruit. The Cabernet Franc’s graphite becomes evident followed by the spicy element from the Carménère. A beautiful combination of 5 Bordeaux varietals! The sum of the parts adds depth and length that stays long after the wine leaves the palate.
