Made in a very ripe style, this Cab-based Bordeaux blend is fat and rich in cherries, blackberries, chocolate, cola and cedar flavors. The soft density is partly the result of relatively high alcohol, but the wine wears it well. Shows a good balance of alcohol, acids, fruit, oak and firm, dusty tannins, and should age well through 2012.——S.H.(12/15/2007)—— 93
