Perfumed and complex on the nose, with outstanding aromas of ripe red and black fruits over subtle notes of crème de cassis, tobacco, and leather. Pepper, cinnamon, and dark chocolate notes. In palate is smooth but structured, with silky tannins. A blend consisting mostly of Cab Sauv, with a little Cab Franc, Petit Verdot, and Merlot to round things out.
