A cold winter, mild spring and a hot and dry summer followed by a wet September that caused the Cabernet Sauvignon to ripen late. The blend is again 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 5% Alicante and the intense, garnet color has a nice concentration. The aroma is of spice and is slightly evolved (with some hints of glutamate), ethereal and wrapping. The warm and bold mouthfeel has a little too many extracts with evident tannins that are not totally integrated.
Bottles produced: 18,000.
