a blend of 50% cabernet sauvignon, 20% grande vidure, 20% petite syrah and 10% merlot, it is as if you can clearly account for each varietal's contribution. ripe cassis, cherry, plum, and spice flavors are buttressed by well-integrated oak.  beautifully balanced, it has good acidity and mature tannins, and closes with a long, satisfying finish. great wine for tonight's grilled t-bone, and worthy of mid-term cellaring .
