Jackson Family Wines 2010 Arcanum

Arcanum is the handiwork of Jackson Family Wines star vigneron Pierre Seillan, the man behind esteemed labels Vérité and Château Lassègue. With it’s rugged slopes and diversity of soils, the Chianti Classico region is ideally suited to produce hearty Cabernet Franc, the main varietal in the 2010 Arcanum’s ($100) blend. Seillan took full advantage of the gifts geography presented and created a wine of extreme elegance and power that is built to age, yet drinks beautifully now. (jacksonfamilywines.com)
