In many vintages, d’Escurac is an exceptional bargain and is usually a 50-50 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2011 is loaded with cedary spices, black currant, cherry, underbrush and licorice characteristics. A solidly made, medium-bodied over-achiever, this sleeper of the vintage should drink well for 3-4 years.
