Warm and soft, with hints of prune and cooked blackberries alongside touches of chocolate and tobacco, this blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot is a plush, easy-drinking red. Like the Reserve Cabernet, it seems perfectly suited for near-term consumption with grilled steak.——W.E.(12/1/2007)—— 88
