(96+) A final blend of 54% Cabernet Franc, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Petit Verdot, the 2015 Oakville Ranch Avoyelles sports a deep garnet-purple color and a slightly closed nose of ripe red currants, kirsch, plums and sautéed herbs with underbrush, menthol and wild thyme nuances. Full-on full-bodied, concentrated, taut and muscular, this firmly structured baby is bursting with intense flavors, finishing long and earthy. -Lisa Perrotti-Brown
