Good and dry, but awkward, with slightly vegetal flavors sticking through riper ones of blackberries and black currants. The acid-tannin relationship also is unbalanced. Redeems itself on the finish, with a flourish of chocolate.

A beautiful wine that will redefine the way you view Lake County. Mostly Merlot, with a drop of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it’s extraordinarily rich and refined in the mouth, a lovely wine to drink now. Shows new oak-inspired raspberry, cherry, red currant and Indian spice flavors that linger into a long finish.

Tasted beside the wonderful 2006, this Bordeaux blend is considerably more tannic and aloof. Almost equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it’s very deeply flavored in black and red currants, licorice and dusty Asian spices, while lots of new French oak adds a sturdy framework. Seems an obvious candidate for the cellar, and should blossom after 2011.
