Clos Dubreuil Vintage:2012 There's more austerity to thisEarth, spice, smoke, tobacco and plum notes create the aromatic profile. Produced from a blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, the wine was aged in 100% new, French oak, the wine is rich, sweet and fresh, with a smoky, black raspberry finish.
