As you may know, I am on a kick for classic Bordeaux blend wines, which means wines that have Cab Franc, Cab Sauv, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. This wine caught my eye and has 50% Cab Sauv, 35% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot and 6% Mlabec. Deep in color (dark purple), great in power [but not revealing it] and very approachable to most drinkers, this wine scores. Fruit is dark plums and berries, but not overpowering. Nose is wonderful, but don't inhale it for too long.
This is a quality wine.
