This is a Cab Merlot blend offering structure and power within its medium body. The old vines deliver fruit of deep intensity. In particular, the Cabernet component with its concentrated blackcurrant and dark chocolate influence is impressive. The Merlot brings a little softness into the middle palate. It’s a wine that will handle cellaring, although it will offer such excellent drinking in its youth over the next five or so years.
