La Rosa’s first-ever prestige wine is a burly blend of Cab Sauvignon, Carmenere, Syrah and Cab Franc. There’s a deep color to it, with coconut, mint and pencil shaving aromas giving way to sweet, chocolaty, dark-fruit flavors. The 30% Carmenere in the blend is evident in the herbal, leathery notes on the finish.——M.S.(3/1/2008)—— 90
