A blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot and 24% Cabernet Franc that spent 22 months in 100% new French oak, this small boutique project boasts the well-known Bordeaux oenologist, Michel Rolland, as their consultant. The 2004 boasts lots of black currant and black cherry fruit intermixed with spicy notes in a medium to full-bodied, opulent, well-balanced style. Even though the color is still youthful, the wine appears to be close to full maturity. With soft tannins, decent acidity and a plump, round, generous mouthfeel, this seductive red can be enjoyed over the next decade.
Deftly balanced, rich and savory, with dusty currant, fresh earth, mineral, sage and dried blackberry, this is complex and mouthcoating, intense and dense without being heavy. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
