The 2008 Navigato Family Selection is a blend of 40% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 30% Malbec aged for 24 months in French oak before bottling without filtration. Complex aromas of wood smoke, violets, exotic spices, and assorted black fruits lead to a loaded, exceptionally concentrated, layered wine that has the structure to evolve for another 2-3 years. It will be at its best from 2014 to 2023. Importer: Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel. (866) 57-STARZ; fax (714) 892-6930; www.southernstarz.com
