Composed of 65% Cabernet Franc and 35% Merlot, the 2015 Seventeen Forty Reserve has a very expressive dark berries, blueberries, mocha and cedar-laced nose with a touch of underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers very plush, ripe tannins and bags of juicy fruit, with spicy notions and an herbal lift on finish.-LPB
Glass-staining ruby. Powerful, mineral-accented dark berry, cherry, mocha and licorice scents are complemented by cola, pipe tobacco and succulent herb nuances. Fleshy, concentrated and alluringly sweet, offering sappy blackcurrant, cherry liqueur and spicecake flavors that are sharpened by a jolt of smoky minerality. Shows outstanding depth, balance and thrust on a youthfully tannic finish that shows impressive focus and a sexy floral note.-JR
