Usana Bill Winshaw

Pleasure in abundance. Super smooth, silky blend of cab franc (67%) with a seasoning of malbec, cab, merlot. The wine matured for 24 months in 225 and 300L barrels, around a 1/3 new. There’s an assured modernity to an otherwise traditional wine. On the nose is cab franc’s dark, leafy fragrance, hint of tobacco and new leather, before crushed blackberries, plums and winter spice. The 14.5% alcohol is keenly balanced and gives the palate a certain vinosity and freshness. Velvety tannins are offset by a superb, dry finish.
