description: The blend is 84% Merlot, the rest split evenly between Cabs Franc and Sauvignon. It's a dark and smoky wine, with tight, buttoned-up scents of cassis, raspberry and pomegranate. The fruit broadens into ripe cherry in the mouth, with generous dusty/toasty flavors of new oak. As the wine breathes there are  suggestions of mushroom, tobacco and lead pencil. Rare indeed is the domestic Merlot that can and should be aged, but this is one.
