This is primarily (70%) Shiraz, with a blend of Cab Sauvignon, Merlot and Cab Franc, but it comes across more like a Bordeaux blend. Vanilla and cedar notes from oak aging accent cassis fruit—and there’s a hint of mint as well. Medium-bodied, with a long, dusty yet mouthwatering finish. Drink now–2015.——J.C.(6/1/2007)—— 89
