10% Cabernet Sauvignon; 5% Cab. Franc; 3% Petit Verdot. A trim, tailored and well-balanced wine whose main message is that of bright, cherry-like fruit, this nicely made middleweight is built with an eye to near-term enjoyment. Ripe and yet light on its feet with a bare bit of tannin for grip, it is the kind of Merlot that will match up especially well with an assortment of veal and lighter lamb dishes over the next two or three years. GOOD VALUE
