The new Marcassin 2016 commands immediate attention with a flamboyant bouquet full of fresh flowers (red roses, star gazer lilies, etc) and Provençal herbs. Succulent notes of bright strawberry,sarsaparilla, maraschino cherry compote, and cassis gracefully waltz across the palate like a ballerina. Flawlessly balanced hints of vanilla bean, cotton candy, and hints of blueberry cream...

The palate is fresh and lively, offering up ample fresh raspberry, red cherry, with hints of black tea, anise, and zesty minerality in the background.

These are joined by black cherry and dark berry flavors on the palate.

Silky, sweet tannins provide lively foundation for the elegant and ethereal pomegranate, cherry, cedar, and baking spice notes that are gloriously well-integrated.

A delightful Cabernet with well-balanced fruit and floral notes in the bouquet.
