Compared this to the winery’s Cabernet Sauvignon, it’s softer, richer and more accessible despite the big tannins that will enable the wine to age. Flavorwise, you’ll find a delicious melange of blackberry, cherry, plum, coffee and herb flavors that are intricate and complexed by flashy new oak. Drink now through 2014. ——S.H.(8/1/2006)—— 92
