Ed Sbragia of Beringer fame produced this complex, ever-unfolding wine that benefits from additions of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Vibrant cassis, blackberry and dark cherry fruit are embraced by supple tannins and spicy oak. Enjoyable now, this wine has the guts to improve in the cellar for another decade.
