This is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. Thick and dense, it’s a perfect companion to the winery’s current release of Merlot, though they are a year apart in vintage. This Cabernet has slight intimations of herb and black olive, and is tightly focused with very dark cassis and plum fruit flavors. It’s a wine to cellar, as it is still a little hot and tightly wound.——P.G.(12/31/2010)—— 93
