WE 93-95Andy Frieden, JJ Buckley, April 2012
64% cabernet sauvignon, 33% merlot, and 3% petite verdot, with 13.5% alcohol. Aged in 50% new oak. Yields were 30 hl/ha from vines with an average age of 31 years. Inky purple color, with an opaque core and a fuchsia rim. Bouquet of black fruit, with aromas of cherry blossom and violet, earthy minerals and pain grille. Black fruit flavors expand on the mid-palate of this medium-bodied wine with nicely integrated tannins adding structural balance. Enjoy from 2015 to 2025.

This wine has richness, weight and dark tannins, with balanced fruit and a ripe mouthfeel. It's powered by spice and blackberry flavors. - R.V.

Kirsch and dark plum fruit is succulent, and offset nicely by brisk, chalky minerality, which gives a good driven feel to the finish.-J.M.
