The Merlot, Cabernet Franc blend has always been a favorite of ours. This year we added a splash of Viognier to liven it up even more. Visually Sedulous is a deep crimson red, with crystal clarity. It has a sweet black cherry nose, and a complex silky candy mouth feel. A long lush after taste seems to linger on forever. Sedulous couples superbly with a peppercorn sauce covered beef tenderloin, any tomato based pasta dish, or a first-rate prime rib feast.
