50% cab and 50% merlot. Always a weener favorite before Tom grafted over his merlot vines in 97 to pinot. Tho not technically a Meritage this will stand up swimmingly with the best of the genre. Silky,seductive entry with brite red fruit, violets, cardaman, cinnamon, and vanilla coming thru. Medium center palate but a gorgeous 4&1/2 lapper finish. Anyone with this in your vault 'kaint get much better than this. Should hold another 7-10 min.91.ww (Probably benefitted some by following the Sociando Mallet )
