The 2005 Intuition, a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Petit Verdot, 10% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc, is opaque purple, with an expressive bouquet of cedar, spice box, plum, black cherry, and blackberry. Firm and structured upon entry, the wine is well-balanced by layers of fruit and savory flavors. With fine depth and concentration, it will develop for another 4-6 years and drink at its peak from 2012 to 2025.Bergevin Lane, owned and operated by Annette Bergevin and Amber Lane, has another top-notch set of new releases.Tel.

Textured, spicy and exotically scented with red and black fruits, pepper, ground coffee, cinnamon, saffron and chocolate powder. It’s a delightful and complex wine, just under 15% alcohol, balanced and showing lots of plummy fruit that is backed with polished tannins and natural acids.——P.G.(3/1/2009)—— 90
