James Suckling Review
Rated 93
A Bordeaux-style blend dominated by 55% cabernet franc, the wine has a pretty, floral aroma, inviting red fruit flavors and silky tannins, so its easy to sip even at a young age. Tastes nicely ripe, almost sweet, but not at all thick or cloying. Drink now or hold.
Wine Tasting Notes
The Arise entices with aromas of black currant, freshly-picked summer blackberries, cedar stick, and roasted clove. With flavors of licorice, pipe tobacco, Bing cherry, and nutty fig, this wine has a richly layered mid-palate that is complimented by soft texture, good density, and a long, lingering finish.
37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc, 6% Syrah, 4% Petit Verdot
Alcohol 14.6%
