The impressive 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon VDP d’Orange includes 10% Petit Verdot in the blend. It exhibits unexpected elegance along with powerful blackberry and floral notes, and hints of cedar, roast beef, and tobacco leaf. Not surprisingly, the consulting winemaker at Soumade is one of the gurus of Bordeaux, the renowned Stephane Derenoncourt. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
