Checking in as a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and then equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the 2014 Mystique offers a fabulous St. Emilion-like bouquet of blackcurrants, black cherries, lead pencil shavings, spice-box and incense in a medium to full-bodied, seamless, polished and elegant profile. It's already hard to resist, yet its impeccable balance and fine tannin all lead me to believe it will have 10-12 years of longevity.
This well-built blue and black fruited beauty has highlights of mint and green tea on the nose to introduce a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. While certainly a "big" blend there's a spring in its step on the finish of fresh ground coffee and sarsaparilla. Drink it up. - Andy - Avalon Wines, Oregon.
