A Cheval Blanc-look alike, the 2002 Bourriquot (a blend of two-thirds Cabernet Franc and one-third Merlot) exhibits a dense ruby/purple color along with a lavish bouquet of white chocolate, black cherries, mocha, and menthol. The complex aromatics are accompanied by a medium to full-bodied, nicely layered red with no hard edges. The French-like sweet fruit, lovely fragrance, overall symmetry, and refined style suggest consumption over the next decade is warranted. Tel. (707) 261-2000; Fax (707) 261-2043
