It had to be wine worthy of a great man – my Dad. He taught me my love of books, gardening, science, and critical thinking. He was open minded, nonjudgmental, kind, and always willing to lend a helping hand. He inspires me to be better everyday though he is no longer present. So this wine honors Ed Bedford. We saved the best barrels until last of the 2012 vintage. This is a rich, well integrated red blend that emphasizes Cabernet Franc along with a few other Bordeaux varietals (Merlot, Petit Verdot) to create a complex, enticing experience. It was aged 36 months in older french oak barrels to reign in the powerful fruit. The wine is dense with deep berry flavors and notes of earthy spice ending a long, satisfying finish. Drinking beautifully now, it can be enjoyed immediately but will continue to age for many years to come. Bottle Price: $45.00
