title: Oliver Conti 2009 Red (Empordà)
description: Compact on the nose, this drills home aromas of leafy blackberry and cassis. A tannic, full-bodied palate is packed with blackberry, mineral, toast and baked but not cooked berry flavors. On the finish, it's rich, with molasses, earth and lightly stewed flavors. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cab Franc is a lot like Bordeaux, which isn't far away on the map. Drink through 2020.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
