A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, the deep garnet colored 2010 Gaia possesses a complex, earthy nose of black earth, moss-covered tree bark and black truffles enveloping a core of preserved plums and blackberry preserves that has a suggestion of allspice. Medium-bodied with a solid backbone of firm grainy tannins and crisp acidity to support the elegant and savory flavors, it finishes with very good persistence. Drink it now to 2020+.
