WS 93Chuck Hayward, JJ Buckley, March 2010
90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. A very appealing, rich and forward nose of fruit and oak, this is a very complete wine at the moment. This is juicy, round with great thick fruit on the finish that is layered and fully integrated comprising a wine that's ready to drink. There are superfine tannins here that are coated by the rich fruit. Very seductive. Tasted three times.

A fleshy, inviting style, with lots of crushed fig and steeped blackberry fruit woven with warmed cocoa and pain d'épices, all backed by a distinctly racy graphite note. Stays fleshy through the finish without being heavy. Best from 2013 through 2028. -JM
