A silky entry combines with a moderately soft mid-palate to express supple texture and a fine balance of fruit and acidity. Flavors of cassis, black olives, raspberry and dark chocolate culminate in a long and luscious finish.</p> <p>88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec &#8211; 18 months of barrel aging in new French oak.</p> <p>90ptsWS "A tightly knit youngster, with hints of earthy cedar, tar and tobacco which join ripe currant, red cherry, anise, leather, sage and spice, ending with a strong, structured tannic finish.
