This 100% Cabernet Franc wine is a stunning representation of the diverse micro-crus of the vineyard blocks hand-selected for this vintage. Inviting aromas of sweet mint and vanilla bean delight the senses, underscored by white pepper spice. The palate exudes elegance with a distinctive brightness and soft, fine tannins. Flavors of tart cherries and black licorice are rounded out by a lingering finish of cedar and balsamic notes. A truly remarkable wine to be enjoyed for years to come.

Made with Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Arcanum (in a heavy glass bottle) is all power and brawn, especially in this vintage that concluded with warm temperatures at the end of the growing season. This is an inky and impenetrable wine with thick layers of black fruit, blackberry preserves, grilled rosemary and exotic spice. It ages in French oak for 12 months with 60% new oak. Production is 20,000 bottles.
