2018 Trespass MISCHIEF
$95.00
I love the deep and brooding black fruit aromatics of blackberry and plum reduction enveloped with the subtleties of toffee brittle, dark cacao, oak vanillin, and a dash of clove. Make no mistake, however, when weighing in at 61% Cabernet Franc, 37% Cabernet and 2% Malbec, this wine is no pushover. These varietals are like a pack of hungry wolves in the barrel cellar and can make massively dark, long aged wines with finesse and proper rusticity. The Mischief is a wine of precision from aroma to palate. Poignant and defined dark flavors of berry and chocolates are in an elixir-like ballet around the tongue. The acid and tannin profile are beautifully well balanced and persistent enough to suggest lying this bold red down for several years. Bottled after 22 months in 75% New French Oak, unfiltered and unfined.
