85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, 14 months in french oak barrels. Dark garnet, oaky nose slightly oxidized, sour cherries and cinnamon. Medium to full-bodied with ripe blackberries, cherries, sweet oak and cinnamon and vanilla with somewhat chunky tannins on the average finish. Good acidity but not well-balanced enough with the oak and the tannins that lack focus.
