(blended with 8% cabernet franc, 5% petit verdot, 3% merlot and 1% malbec; aged in 75% new oak for 18 months): Good bright ruby. Complex nose offers plum, black cherry, graphite, flowers, menthol and cedary oak. Nicely fleshy but not at all muscular, with a juicy, penetrating character to the cassis, licorice, cedar and spice flavors. An elegantly styled cabernet with firm but smooth tannins, from a vintage that winemaker Genevieve Janssens describes as "cold."
