92 ST. "A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot and 3% Merlot) Good medium red-ruby. Sappy black raspberry, redcurrant, flowers, tobacco and licorice on the nose, along with sexy, smoky oak notes of torrefaction. Dense and lush, with a restrained sweetness and hints of minerals and chocolate. Not a huge wine but boasts lovely intensity and vinosity. The first vintage of this wine to include some Merlot . . ."
