Subtle and soft, this aromatic Bordeaux blend (54% Cab Sauvignon, 9% Carmenere, 9% Merlot, 10% Malbec, 18% Petit Verdot) is laced with herb and exotic and savory spices, woven through tight fruit flavors of blueberry and musky grape. This is a delicate, evocative and challenging wine that rewards your attention. Fascinating and complex, it needs time to breathe and good glassware to really open up.——P.G.(7/1/2008)—— 91
