Big red with a big front end and lingerig finish this five varietal meritage weighs in at 14.2 ABV. Although a majority is Merlot, the Cab forward punch makes this a very bold wine. This blend of Merlot rounds off a little of the Cab but blindfolded I would say this a more of a Cab and Verdot/Petite Verdot blend than Merlot blend. This is definitely a steak or pasta and meat sauce wine although it also pairs well with Garlic Sous vide boneless chicken breast with a ghee seer finish. After sitting for 8 years in the cellar this wine is probably as good as it will get. 89 points

Beautiful Bordeaux blend of 42% Merlot, 29% cabernet sav, 13% Malbec, 8% Cab Franc & 8% Petit Verdot. The 2012 if Betty approachable right out of the bottle. A soft/Mild to maybe moderate nose with aromas of dark fruit and a little chocolate. On the palate I get fine balanced tannins with some cherry, oak and maybe a little plum.

So unfortunate that the bottle had cork taint.
