This is an interesting wine, made from 40% Cab Sauv, 40% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, 6% Cab Franc and 4% Shiraz and 3% Grenache in the Italian appassimento-style. It’s strong and robust, loaded with dark fruit flavors of blackberry, cherry and plum along with a streak of black currant liqueur and espresso with anisette.——L.B.(4/1/2012)—— 89
