"Limited production offerings that are worth noting include the 2008 Danger D Proprietary Red Showket Vineyard. Made from equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it reveals a subtle smoky note intermixed with abundant creme de cassis, black cherry, white chocolate and tobacco leaf aromas offered in a fragrant, opulent, voluptuously textured style. There is virtually nothing to dislike in this full-bodied, powerful yet harmonious wine that cascades over the palate without a hard edge. This is just brilliant winemaking and terrific fruit sources. Drink it over the next 10-15 years."
