this is the left bank companion to the winery's la soeur blend. here the cabernet sauvignon is dominant, with merlot and a splash of petit verdot making up the last third. firm, dark and tight upon opening, it sends up scents of smoke and charcoal, forming a wreath around dense fruit flavors of blueberry and cassis. a young wine, with perhaps a decade or more of life ahead of it.
