From a renovated farm that has been owned by the same family since 1850, Bruce Murray purchased the property in 2007. This lithe, light-bodied blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot is easy drinking, with a black pepper and ref fruit aroma. Pair this dry red with Cornell chicken.

Staff Pick Notes

The time is now for a delicious dry red blend from a more brisk climate. A light-to-medium body that achieves easy drinking, showing just the most wonderful touch of pepperiness and red fruit. Structured beautifully. Like Ai Wei Wei's priceless Han Dynasty ceramic urns shattered to bits, this Cab Franc becomes akin to a product of Kintsugi, adding a touch of Merlot, caulking in empty spaces with gold. The complimentary symbiosis is noticeable immediately. In the spirit of breaking boundaries, pour a glass, (Translation: carafe) alongside a screening of "Dangerous liaisons" and convince your plus one to whip up a ratatouille caponata.

Merlot

The next time you hear someone say they never touch Merlot, tell them that it's too bad, because you were just about to open a few bottles of Château Pétrus and Le Pin, and you have no one to share them with.

It has one of the most impressive and distinctive textures of any wine, and has long been prized for the "softening" effect it can have on Cabernet Sauvignon - especially...

Cabernet Franc

Relegated to moderate obscurity in modern times, Cabernet Franc is in fact the proud parent of the attention-hogging Cabernet Sauvignon (after an illicit affair with Sauvignon Blanc a hundred-odd years ago). Cabernet Franc has remained close to its roots in France, enjoying small pockets of popularity primarily in the Loire Valley (specifically in Chinon), where it is often bottled as a varietal wine, and in Bordeaux where it is still used in moderate percentages in the typical blends. In fact,...
