A very nice bordeaux-styled California wine. This one is heavily dominated by cab, and did not list the others, but I suspect merlot, malbec, and cab franc. It has a nice nose of berry and oak (though its not overpowering at all). On the palate, there is clearly berries. The smoothness led me to think of blueberries. I found the wine full-bodied and pleasantly balanced. All in all, a delicious CA red that I would rate in the high 80s. 13.5% Alcohol. Tasted by itself - 11/23/07.
