We bought this at the winery after tasting it in 1999. 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 10% Petit Verdot.

The light nose of berries and lighter-than-expected color led me to believe this was either off, old, or thin, but that was not the case. Rich flavors of plums melded beautifully with ample, not-too-soft tannins. This is, by far, the best non-Zinfandel I've ever had from this winery. I believe it could still use another year or two. 90
