This is Rick Longoria’s Bordeaux-style blend. It’s not at all like a Napa Cabernet, which is the inevitable comparison, but instead shows a crisp, white wine-like acidity, and an underlying herbaceousness, the result of the region’s cool climate. The flavors are fine, offering currants, cherries, mocha and oak, with a peppery finish.——S.H.(8/1/2008)—— 87
