This is the Feilers’ flagship red, a blend of Blaufrankisch, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, smooth, ripe and velvety. The tannins seem soft initially because of the new French wood flavors, but to finish, they become firm, dry and tough, promising some good aging. For now, enjoy the sweet blackberry fruits.——R.V.(10/1/2007)—— 91
