A blend of 42% Cabernet Franc, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Malbec, 9% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Trine offers fresh and generous aromas of dusty black fruits and hints of baked clay with soft French baking spices from 41% new French oak used. Medium to full-bodied, the wine has a firm tannic edge that will loosen with a few more years of bottle aging, so be patient with this and set it next to your Barolo in the cellar. My gut tells me that this bottling will begin to hit its stride at 10 years of age.
