My 1st encounter with this wine(after tasting and buying a box on the spot). Beautifully balanced blend of 65% Cabernet, 13% Merlot, 13% Malbec, and 9% Cab Fraanc. Medium brite ruby. Seductive aroma that features red fruits and floral notes combined with spiciness verging to the sweet side, and a smidgin of vanilla. Would have guessed a Bordeaux had it been blind. Soft, supple entry, solid center and beautiful 4+lapper finish. Still has some silky tannins to shed. Should improve for another 3-5. Solid effort. 91/93. 30 by the box. 14.3% alc. WW

Thot I'd posted on this since the this initial post but couldn't find it. Nose has really developed over the last 2. Solid effort that still has enough soft tannins to improve another 2-4. No change in scoring. WW
