a bordeaux-style blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, malbec and merlot, this remains quite youthful, with its flavors of barrel aging still prominent. substantial, brambly berry fruit is bolstered by stiff tannins, streaked with notes  of loam, graphite and smoke. the structure, depth and balance are all in place, it just needs more time to consolidate.
