40% Cab Franc, 30% Cab Sauv, 30% Merlot. Drank over 2 days - better on the second day. On the pop 'n pour, this wine just did not taste very good -- I was thinking very mildly corked perhaps. After leaving overnight, it showed better. Nice fragrant nose showing some fruit, leather, spice, and herb. Clearly old world palate -- the Cab Franc dominated. Lacked depth and concentration, but was OK. The staff at the LWS had high compliments for this wine, but overall, I just thought this to be OK. Nothing I would like to repurchase at $15.

Again, a decent old-world styled Bordeaux for the money, but really kind of an ordinary boring red wine.
