This is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc anc 5% Merlot.  Purple in color, opaque and bright.  The  nose is big with cassis, plums, black cherries, chocolate, fresh herbs (sage?), and cigar box.  Full bodied.  Medium to firm tannins.  Nice balance.  On the palate, this is still youthful.  Flavors of cassis, black cherries, dark chocolate, spice, char and earthiness.  Complex and deep.  Long finish. Delicious.  This will continue to improve if well store for another decade and drink well for the next two decades.  It is great on its own and will work with many foods.  This worked very well with a polenta cake with mushrooms (and apparently Prime Rib).
