2023 Eliza's Red Wine

A pretty, elegant, floral-scented wine that emphasizes freshness, balance and a trim feel that's almost irresistible. Aromas of violets, blackcurrants and graphite lead to fine-grained tannins that firmly hold deep, complex dark fruits, baking spices and more floral tones. A blend of 54% Cabernet Franc, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Petit Verdot. Drink or hold.

A frankly muscular version, with espresso crema and bittersweet cocoa notes wrapped tightly around a dense core of black currant reduction, tobacco leaf, warm loam and walnut husk. A late ping of iron provides a bit of bas-relief to an otherwise dense and slightly brooding persona. For fans of the style. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2028 through 2036.

Silkier in texture and just a more complete wine than the 2022 version, the 2023 Eliza's Red Wine is a blend of 53% Cabernet Franc, 46% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Petit Verdot. A hefty 40% of the total was co-fermented—perhaps that's a contributing factor in its success. Hints of tobacco leaf join raspberries and black cherries on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is framed by fine-grained tannins and culminates in a long, elegant finish.
