This is a Bordeaux-style blend based on the two Cabernets, Sauvignon and Franc. It’s made in the modern style, soft, ripe and oaky. Floods the mouth with black cherry and raspberry flavors, sweetened with caramelized oak, and undeniably delicious. However, a combination of high alcohol and excessive softness seems to limit ageability, so enjoy over the next few years. ——S.H.(12/31/2011)—— 90
