this ambitious effort stars flavors so ripe and fantastic, they defy description. the wine, with a few drops of cabernet franc and petit verdot, explodes in blackberries, black cherries, currants, mocha, sweet licorice, plum and new oak flavors. the tannins are magnificent, the oak integration beautiful. the chief criticism is that the alcohol level is high, and gives the wine a burn of heat.
