in this vintage, the producer's beloved blend is a commingling of 75% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot, 10% petit verdot, 3% malbec and 2% cabernet franc. two years in new french oak give it a youthful, tannic nature around smoky black cherry, burly leather and full-bodied richness and concentration. further time in the bottle should coax out the blackberry and cherry; cellar through 2027.
