Grown in ferrous, Terra Rosa soils, this was blended from 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc and 13% Petit Verdot. The fruit shows impressive intensity, with blackberry and black current notes leading the way, but there are also savory nuances around the edges. An endearing impression of sweetness buffers the tannins in the finish, which is symmetrical and long.
