Notes | "Mulberries, dark cherries, dried herbs, cedar and cloves on the nose. Full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Structured and compact." (James Suckling) "A blend of 50 percent cabernet sauvignon with malbec, cabernet franc, merlot and petit verdot, this is a powerful wine, the fruit trending towards black plum juice. Its powerful acidity gives it enough lift, allowing some of the savory aspects to show through in the middle. A few years of time in the cellar will give the oak time to settle behind the peppery aspects, setting up a fine pairing with grilled pork." (Wine & Spirits) | |||
