I wasn't really sure what I was expecting with this one. But I don't think I was expecting it to show this well. This combination of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot, 1% Petit verdot beat the Uriah out by approximately one and a half points. This is not going to get any better with more bottle age. This wine is right at the top. Drinking very well. A little bit of glycerin on the front with some chocolate-covered black cherries and almonds on the front. The middle of this wine gains a touch of worn saddle leather, and this is where a hint of black pepper starts to creep in. This wine is still tannic on the finish. I actually think this one might improve with another year or two of age. Very surprised. Will seek out current vintages of this one.
