Supple-textured, with ripe, plush currant, plum andblackberry fruit that’s well-proportioned, rich and concentrated. Tannins are ripe and integrated. Complex aftertaste. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2010. 500 cases made. –JL Wine Spectator 88 points (Nov 30 2006)
This blend of 98% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc from the eastern hills of St. Helena exhibits a dark plum/purple color as well as a big, rich perfume of toffee, mocha, chocolate, espresso roast, and berry fruit. Medium-bodied, pure, and elegant, with an attractive, savory finish, it should be consumed over the next 5-7 years. Robert Parker 90 points (Dec 2006)
