Made from 60% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot, and 5% Malbec, the 2018 Jean Faure is deep garnet-purple colored. It charges out of the gate with bullish notes of baked blackberries, boysenberry preserves, and chocolate-covered cherries, followed by hints of Indian spices, incense, charcuterie, and dried lavender. The medium-bodied palate has a solid frame of firm, chewy tannins and just enough freshness to support the generous fruit, finishing long and spicy.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Wine Advocate

The 2018 Jean Faure has a medium to deep garnet-purple color, bursting from the glass with bold notions of baked black plums, blackberry pie and boysenberry preserves, followed by hints of Chinese five spice, potpourri and smoked meats with a touch of black olives. The medium to full-bodied palate coats the mouth with flavors of black fruit preserves, supported by rounded tannins and just enough freshness, finishing spicy.
