67% Cabernet Sauvignon; 15% Merlot; 10% Malbec; 6% Petit Verdot; 2% Cabernet Franc. Cherries and chocolate lead the way in its attractive, very accessible aromas, but the frontal flavors of this fairly direct wine want depth and intensity. Slightly plump to begin, then slightly firm and a touch hot, it will be at its best in the next few years but does not exhibit the structural spine to be a good bet for longer cellaring.
