10% Merlot; 1% Petit Verdot. From its dry, lightly dusty aromas to its clean, but fairly limited flavors, this small-scaled offering is a bit stunted with respect to active fruit, and time in bottle will not provide the missing pieces.

Rating for United States-California: 92 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: unpredictable<br/>

Had a glass at Forepaugh's. Wonderful wine

Enjoyed at Dresslers on Donns bday.
