I wish I had a few more bottles of this vintage as this is really coming into it's own and drinking well right now. Opened to drink with dinner and was greeted with a nicely balanced combination of power and finesse. Not exceptional, but a very pleasurable wine for Tuesday night.

The first thing to jump out at you is the nose, huge raspberry/strawberry jam, really very enticing.
Tastes of dark fruit, oak, jam, and plenty of structure without the potential sweet/fruit bomb the nose may lead you to believe. Finish medium/+. All around well balanced wine.
The blend of this wine is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Syrah.

Bouquet: Piecrust and oats, blueberry - though fairly astringent. Palate: Salty mid, dry finish, piney forward with mellow blackberry hints.
