The Dead Cat cuvee ... oh I'm sorry I mean the 2001 Ode To Picasso (their homage to a deceased pet) is a blend of 40% Syrah 32% Cabernet Sauvignon 15% Petit Verdot 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot (who thinks up these blends?). No European producer would dare mix all this stuff together because of ... tradition ... but these disrespectful adult hippies got it right. It's all about creativity singularity and producing awesome wines ... like this one. Incredible aromas of creosote blackberries creme de cassis acacia flowers and underbrush soar from the glass. Superb texture great purity (a characteristics of all B and H wines) and terrific length characterize this wine. It will be impossible to resist over the next 10-15 years. Go for it!
