The internationally-styled 1999 Pelago is a barrique-aged blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Montepulciano, and 10% Merlot. It offers up aromas of toasty new oak, sweet black cherries, currants, licorice, and toast. Nicely-textured, pure, ripe, rich, and fleshy, it will provide enjoyment over the next 5-7 years.
