Contrary to what the Delectable label says, this vintage is a Cab Sauv dominant blend (Merlot is 34%). Right now the cola and cherry notes are most prominent and the tobacco/cigar box notes follow on subtly. This is an elegant but easy to sip wine. It’s namesake does it justice too... it could easily age another decade or so.
