Composed of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Merlot, the earthy, spicy 2008 offers up notes of underbrush, red and black fruits and subtle smoke in its medium to full-bodied, solidly tannic, structured personality. It will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age and keep for two decades.
This solid red shows juicy dark plum, loganberry and blackberry fruit backed by lots of sweet tobacco, iron and roasted sage. A streak of roasted cedar moves subtly through the finish.
