This Bordeaux-style blend of 50% Cab Sauv, 45% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot exhibits an attractive herbal character throughout, with notes of forest foliage accenting the blackberry, cherry and currant core. Gripping and firm in the mouth, with a soft hint of sweet spice on the close. ——L.B.(4/1/2012)—— 87
