Overgaauw Tria Corda 2000

Full-bodied, velvety palate with black cherries. Maturation in 100% new French oak for 18 months adds to the elegance, complexity and exceptional quality of the wine. The Cabernet adds to the complexity and body, the Merlot adds to the fruit and a velvety finish and the Cabernet Franc supports the fruit and lingering. Bottled in September 2001.
