Wonderfully balanced and not a tannin in a truck-load. As finished as a wine can get. Nose of lush red fruits, sweet spices, vanilla a tad of licorice. All move seamlessly to the palate along with some earth and cigar-box. Silky entry, solid center, and a smooth 4 lapper finish. Mainly cab but with some merlot and cab franc. Should hold for another 4-7. 90/90 43 byt the box.14.2% alc. WW

My 3rd daughter and her beloved came over today and snce this was on my mind I opened another bottle to accompany some purty good vittles. The next bottle was the 97 T-Vine Meritage. Both of these suckers be good drinking. Dint' have time to do annything but slurp them dudes s can only say the T-Vine maybe a slight notch ahead of the St. Supery. WW
