I thoroughly enjoyed this wine.  It is a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 48% Merlot.  The wine drinks like an elegant California Cabernet, not a sedate Bordeaux.  This wine had lovely notes of cassis, blackberry jam, espresso.  The bouquet was huge on this wine, and coloring was nice.  The wine is very fruit laden, and is a sweet hedonistic elixir.  It finishes well, and can stand up to any of the high end cabs out there.

4 stars
