a blend of 64% merlot and 36% cabernet sauvignon, the resulting wine is complex, round and complete. aromas and flavors of plum, leather, cured meat and spice are carried by plenty of weight, yet without seeming heavy. there's a lush, slightly creamy mouthfeel and a long, spicy finish. delicious now, but should hold at least through 2015.
