This blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Verdot opens to a darkly saturated color with a deep garnet core and crimson background layers… Sshows a lot of Cabernet character with zesty notes, some subtle green highlights and savory crushed black pepper… This wine sports a sharp and more precise bouquet… It offers a medium-weight character that feels robust and textured at first but ultimately falls gracefully with its final approach. There’s a nice sense off lift-off at the very end. – M.L.
