"One of the standouts in the lineup is the 2013 Merlot and Cabernet Franc Conner Lee Vineyard, which is 61% Merlot and 39% Cabernet Franc. Aged 15 months in a mix of barrels and 500-liter puncheons, this medium to full-bodied 2013 has lots of plum, black olive, underbrush and spring flower notes in a medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated, seamless package. Showing a touch of herbal character, as well as slight bloodiness, with time in the glass, it’s an impressive bottle of wine that will drink nicely through 2026. - JD"
