94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc aged 16 months in 50% new French oak. Both estate and purchased grapes. A bright, juicy, and lifted wine with succulent blueberry and black cherry fruits, black currants, clove, graphite, and new wood cedar. Medium to full-bodied with supple tannins. A burst of refreshing acidity through the finish makes for an excellent dinner table Cabernet from this iconic producer. (JC)
