A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Pindefleurs is a little mute to begin, unfurling to reveal notes of crushed black cherries, fresh red and black plums and boysenberries with touches of fried herbs, tilled soil and mossy bark. Medium-bodied, elegantly played and refreshing in the mouth, it has an approachable, chewy frame and loads of lively red fruit and herbal sparks on the finish.
