90 ST. "(a blend of 45% merlot, 30% cabernet franc and 25% cabernet sauvignon) Good medium ruby-red. Raw berries, licorice and tobacco leaf on the nose; very cabernet sauvignon. Ripe, round and suave, with a restrained sweetness. Cabernet-driven flavors of black fruits, tobacco leaf and mint, with complicating forest floor nuances. Finishes with very fine tannins and excellent length." Vinous, Nov 2005 |
