October 7, 2010 - Generally very positive -- it brings a blend of the cab and syrah flavors with a touch of the carmenere and petit verdot grapes. The nose is mild, but a beautiful smell. The taste is initially a bit mineral that grows to a more vegetable sense by mid-palate. In the midst it reminds me of mahogany and fir. The finish is much more pepper and cloves. I think I detect a bit of coffee and careb at the end. There's a nice long aftertaste that lingers with a good flavor sense. All that said, you do have to pick Cab as your favorite grape to really enjoy this variety. The mix is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Syrah, 3% Carmenere, 2% Petit Verdot. It's aged 12 months in Oak (and provides some of the flavor). The alcohol is 14.5%. The price is $21.99/bottle, so worthwhile, but probably not a daily wine.
