The wood integration was not a problem with the 2000 CSM Proprietary Red. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Merlot, it reveals a saturated ruby/purple color as well as a big, sweet bouquet of cedar, chocolate, espresso roast, black currants, and blackberries. A voluptuous, flavorful red made in an up-front, heady, unctuously-textured style, it is meant to be drunk over the next 5-8 years. Imported by USA Wine West, San Rafael, CA; tel.
