Critic Ratings
Wine Enthusiast – Rated 91:
This is a rich, lush and yet still quite firm blend of 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Petit Verdot, 15% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 11% Malbec. Aromas of blackberry preserves, cocoa and oak smoke on the nose lead into a waxy texture on the palate, where light licorice and blackberry flavors will coalesce even more with time. Drink now–2034.
