A creamy, ripe, almost syrupy wine with a jammy essence and some mint to the nose. Dark as night in color, rich in berry and cassis flavors, and finishes with a dose of prune. Smooth and deep Cabernet Sauvignon with 23% Syrah and 7% Cab Franc. Shows all the trimmings: coconut, chocolate and depth. Drink now through 2011.——M.S.(12/31/2009)—— 91
