60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. The initial pepper on nose led me to believe there was some Cab Franc in the mix, but apparently not. Eventually ripe cherry and dark baking chocolate rise to the surface. Damp earth is neatly integrated and gives off a right bank feel. Everything is so pure, it's the Napa Valley version of holy water.

Ruby color with just a bit of brick at the edge. Throws quite a bit of sediment. In its adolescence. Pencil lead, subtle vegetation, black fruit lurking, wood framing. Tannins are rustic and show some bitterness.
