Grade: 
A+
Current Price: 
$500.00USD

This is a blend of 79% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 6& Cabernet Franc and some Petit Verdot and Malbec from Napa.  Inky purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is dusty with cassis, blueberries, black cherries, tobacco, spice and char.  Thick tannins.  Good energy.  Full bodied.  On the palate, this is tasty as well as complex.  Flavors of cassis, black cherries, blueberries, chocolate, and spice.  Long finish.  This is a bit youthful but should drink well for another twenty years.  It is great on its own and will work with big foods such as a grilled Ribeye Steak.
