Blend of 80% Merlot, 17% Cab Sauv, 2% Cab Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby with aromas of rich berry fruit and earthy spice tones. On the palate flavors of rich blackberry and black cherry with sweet spice, licorice and cacao notes. Fine tannins, long finish ending with oak and mineral character. Good to drink now, will age some.

Tasting of nine 1996 Cabernets, Merlots and Bordeaux blends from California, Bordeaux and Australia. This split the group because of the hint of (in my opinion, “good”) bret.

Cherry, currant, maple, smoke, loamy earth and oak. Great structure and soft tannins.

Still quite tannic, fruit very much alive but showing secondary aromas and more wild green side of cab sauv. Vanilla and caramel on finish. Poured from coravin but suspect this would benefit from some air. Quite nice.
