Private Reserve Flower 2023 (Red, Dry) "Flower" is a wine blended primarily from Cabernet Franc (Cabernet Franc 76%, Merlot 13%, Petit Verdot 11%). Shiojiri and Kikyogahara are famous for Merlot, but the potential of Cabernet Franc is also intriguing. It has a華やか且つ complex aroma of black cherry, strawberry, spice, herbs, and vanilla. You can feel the soft tannins and umami-rich acidity, resulting in a long finish. "Flower 2023" has a richer, more luxurious style than previous years.
