The sixth version of this nonvintage blend is delightfully rough, like an old truck with a failing muffler. Chewy, tannic, earthy and smoky, it lunges ahead with massive barrel flavors, atop sharp, tart red fruits. This blend is 40% Merlot, 25% Syrah, 22% Cab Franc and 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, and feels more acidic than previous versions.——P.G.(4/1/2012)—— 88
