v.t.s.? vintage top select is the name of this blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, blaufränkisch, zweigelt, merlot and syrah. quite a collection, but the result is a finely polished wine, new wood topping a concentrated, lightly jammy texture, which has richness and good ripe redfruit flavors. a finishing bitterness, which needs to soften out, is the only downside here.
