This majority-Cabernet Sauvignon is not aided much by the additions of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the trio combining for an untidy mix of black olive and dust. The wine throughout is a bit flat and the finish quite abbreviated.

Based on Merlot, this Bordeaux-style blend is very ripe and forward in blueberry, cherry and raspberry jam, and it finishes in a swirl of dusty baking spices. It's a good wine, if a bit rustic, with some edgy tannins and high alcohol.
