Blended of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Shiraz and 8% Merlot, the 2009 Ode to Lorraine displays a deep garnet-purple color and a pronounced minty nose over a core of warm cassis, mulberries, Chinese five spice, toast, cedar, black pepper and tree bark. Full bodied and richly fruited in the mouth, the generous fruit is well supported by a medium level of finely grained tannins, refreshing acid, and it finishes long. Drink this one 2013 to 2021+.
