    Chocolate and plum flavors abound in syrupy concentration in this rich, round and ripe wine. Blended with small amounts of Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petite Sirah, it finishes on a brawny black cherry jam note.

  • 201492 pts

    Handfuls of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot figure into this wine, a lovely, medium-bodied beauty that finds balance in its measured use of oak. Vanilla, plum and bold jolts of pepper and cinnamon combine well on the lengthy palate.

    This concentrated Merlot is blended with smaller percentages of Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Syrah. Dense in black licorice and toasty oak, the fruit character is dominated by red plum and berry aromas and flavors.
