The 2000 Gaia is a Bordeaux-like blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Merlot aged in French oak. This elegant, restrained yet complex red offers up notes of cedar, fruit cake, spice box, cigar tobacco, and currants. Medium-bodied, spicy, and moderately tannic with a surprisingly long finish, it should be consumed over the next 7-8 years.
