title: Jaffe 2005 Transformation Proprietary Blend Red (St. Helena)
description: Outstanding. Almost equal parts Cab and Merlot, this wine is immature now, all primary cherry and currant fruit, unintegrated oak and chunky tannins. But it's a stunning wine, brilliant and pure, with a rich earthiness. You can drink it now, with a few hours of decanting, but it will be best after 2010 and beyond.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Transformation Proprietary Blend
