Product Description
JD100 "Pure perfection in the glass, the 2015 Hexameter is a monument to Cabernet Franc (the blend is 65% Cabernet Franc, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Petit Verdot) that offers extraordinary complexity and nuance backed up by a jaw-dropping textural richness and depth. Notes of crème de cassis, black raspberries, crushed violets, incense, and spring flowers notes all flow to a full-bodied red that has perfect balance, a multi-dimensional, layered texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s a heavenly wine that has another 2+ decades of prime drinking ahead of it." JD Jan 2019
“With the Cabernet Franc being so beautiful, it was hard for us to ignore,” said Ovid’s winemaker, Austin Peterson, of the winery’s concept behind the creation of Hexameter. In 2006 Ovid was mainly Cabernet Franc; after that it was decided that in exceptional years for the grape, they would make Hexameter. “Hexameter is another expression of the estate," Peterson says. “Both Ovid and Hexameter express the site in very compelling ways."
