52% Merlot, 48% Cabernet Sauvignon. Taste has lots of red fruit and a mix of chocolate and vanilla, some pepper notes. It's full bodied and the finish is long. This has held up very well and rocked with a pork chop/carrots.

Unfortunately I've got quite bit of this in my cellar. It's inoffensive (and hey, my wife liked it), with sweet cassis on the nose and palate. But there's something unsatisfying about the mid-palate and a hint of tartness on the finish that left me kicking myself for buying more than a couple of bottles.

Oak heck. The only reason it is not oak hell is for the 2004 Honig C/S that was that much worse.

Should have decanted. Opened up late and had some sediment.
