A blend of Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc
and Malbec, this wine has a dense
saturated purple color with an aromatic
offering of licorice, violets, and
crushed dark mulberries, followed
on the palate by cassis, a hint of
espresso roast and lead pencil.
This full bodied wine exhibits terrific
extract and ripeness, with ripe tannins,
exquisite balance and a lovely, long,
supple velvety finish. |
“.
. . the medium to dark ruby-colored
2000 Classic offers a nose of chocolate,
coffee bean, and lead pencil-laden
black fruits. Medium-bodied
and powerful, it is a concentrated
wine with loads of extract, muscle,
and tannin. Juicy blackberries,
black currants, and sweet dark cherries
are interspersed with spices in its
complex character.“
