This smoky blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc is redolent of berry fruit, forest floor, mature prune and plum but delivers its aromas with measured intensity. Still a bit thorny and raw in the mouth; drink after 2012. 1 Note

This is an intense wine with a lot of interesting aromatic complexities. You’ll recognize blackberries, vanilla, spice and dried herbs over a lush, inky foundation. There are smooth wood tannins in the mouth and the wine lasts a long time with fresh acidity and crisp fruit flavors. 1 Note

If you can accept a slight hint of jamminess, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot is for you. Beyond the ripe cherry and blackberry is a beautiful blast of pleasure and opulence. Pair this wine with succulent cuts of red meat. 1 Note

Equal parts Merlot, Cab Sauvignon and Franc shape a beautifully opulent wine that is loaded with ripe fruit, smoke, polished black stone, smoke and chocolate. The wine is very influenced by 18 months of oak aging (it feels rich, supple and velvety) and will age 10 years or more. 1 Note
