A classic Meritage, with all five Bordeaux grapes in the mix. While stylistically in line with other Powers reds, this is the most graceful in its handling of the fruit and application of new oak. Flavors run to cherries rather than raisins, figs rather than prunes, and delicious baking spices create a lightly confected, sweet-tasting finish.——P.G.(5/1/2010)—— 90
