Majuscule’s "Assemblage" is a taut, generous red blend with great structure, weight and balance. I know, we wine geeks use these terms a lot, but in this instance the elements work so well in combination that not to mention them would be remiss. The palate manages to maintain a lithe texture while carrying great extraction of the red and black fruit flavors, and the vanilla note from the oak is a beautiful contrast, as is just a hint of bell pepper. It’s a fifty-fifty blend of Cabernet Sauvignon from Mt. Veeder and Cabernet Franc from Conn Valley, and it’s a match well made.
