description: This wine uses the same Merlot and Cabernet Franc as the superpremium Sorella (due out in the spring), but here the Cab is a younger Champoux block, planted in 1990. Though a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot and the rest Petit Verdot, the wine expresses itself with a captivating purity. The fruit almost seems to shine with glistening flavors of berries. It's a perfectly balanced and beautifully integrated mix of spicy herb, primary fruits, natural acids and compelling density.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
