WINEMAKER'S NOTE
"Readers may want to take a look at this dark purple-colored wine. This is undeniably sexy juice, with a deep purple color, and a pronounced smoky nose exhibiting gobs of blackberry fruit intermixed with cherries and minerals. Full-bodied, with low acidity, and a plush, velvety-textured finish, this is a Bordeaux made expressly for lovers of hedonistic wines. Anticipated maturity: now-2012."-Wine Advocate
