The 2017 Labor of Love is a Cabernet Franc-based wine from Martinez. All the pedigree and intensity of Pritchard Hill come through in this potent, deep and structured red. Inky and layered with striking aromatic intensity, Labor of Love is just stunning, and a rare 2017 with tons of precision and nuance.

Based on 63% Cabernet Franc, 21% Petit Verdot, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2017 Red Blend Labor of Love offers a rockingly sweet nose of blueberries and red plum fruits intermixed with notions of chocolate, espresso roast, and sappy herbs. Rich, medium to full-bodied, with good acidity, you can certainly drink this today, yet it's going to evolve nicely for two decades as well.
