Pondview’s first Appassimento wine is a blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The drying period of 120 days has produced a dark ruby colour and a huge bouquet of plum, cherry jam, anise, vanilla, After Eight chocolate and herbs. This carries over to the palate where additional raspberry, blackberry and raisins join the mix. Excellent length with a glycerin-laden sweet texture and enough underlying structure to age for 5 to 6 years.
