A stunning success, this 7,000-case blend of 58% Merlot and 42% Cabernet Franc reveals a beautiful nose of black currants, black cherries, loamy soil and forest flora. Full-bodied, this deep, chewy, savory, broadly-flavored 2008 possesses sweet tannin, decent acidity and a long finish. Its 14% alcohol content is nearly as high as the 2009's and 2010's 14.5%. Already accessible, it should continue to age effortlessly for 20-25 years.

Deep ruby. Exquisitely perfumed nose offers ripe blackberry, violet, licorice and milk chocolate. Supple and sweet, with lively acidity that's in harmony with the wine's silky texture. Just a hint of pepper on the finish gives the suave fruit an impression of restraint. The smooth tannins and harmonious acids extend the fruit flavors on the back, where a lingering note of violet reminds one of the presence of cabernet franc.

A complete wine, from the black currant fruits through the balanced tannins to the acidity. It is sturdy, complex, a wine that is already singing and will age well.
89-92
A tobacco, berry and orange peel character. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a clean finish. Refined and balanced. Score range: 89-92 -JS
