Dusty, earthy, berry aromas, with a leathery, meaty streak, lead to a dry, berry-rich wine. It has some odd corners. The technical readings probably read correctly, but it's jagged, irregular and rustic. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and no challenge to Napa-Sonoma.——S.H.(12/31/2001)—— 84
