Please Note These Wine Kits Are Reserve Only. Expected Release Date Is June 2015 This blend of Bordeauxs finest; Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc & Merlot is proof that if it aint broke, dont fix it. These three friends all work so well together, & each contributes their individual strength to the wine. Cabernet Sauvignon, or King Cab, brings the structure with his firm tannins & adds complexity with his aromas of cassis & black currant. Cabernet Franc adds spice, with his peppery nose & red fruit undertones. Merlot likes to round things out with his approachable plum & cherry characteristics & his softer, rounder body. Together, they really do create a harmonious blend. Think of dishes that warm your stomach: beef stroganoff in the winter, steak on the barbecue in the summer, or simply aged cheddar for any time of year.
