91 Pts from The Wine Advocate. A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Aromas of olive-tinged, creme de cassis intermixed with sweet vanilla and smoky oak lead to a sweet, chunky, ripe, cedary wine with an attractive texture, an expansive, fruit-forward style, and a spicy finish.
