2016 Miguel The Man, Merlot/Cab Franc

93 Points Wine Enthusiast

70% Merlot, 30% Cab Franc

“Crafted by Chris Peterson (Avennia), the aromas draw you into the glass, with notes of black tea, bittersweet dark chocolate, black coffee, cherry, dried herb, leaf and graphite, showing a lot of nuance. The palate brings intensity of flavor along with plenty of sophistication and spot-on balance. Firm tannins back it all up. It's beautiful. Best after 2026, with a long life beyond that”.
