a blend of 85% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot and 5% petit verdot, this opens with aromas of mature blackberries, blueberries, cedar, aromatic dried herbs and black pepper. on the smooth palate, notes of exotic spice, licorice, menthol and espresso accent the core of dried black cherry. it's well balanced, with velvety tannins and surprising freshness for what was a torrid vintage.
