"DATE: 08-13-08 Appearance: Ruby.
Nose: Cherry and plum with light smoky oak.
Palate: Dry with good acidity, midweight. Palate exceeds the nose, adding raspberry, red currant, light tobacco, cedar and a hint of dark chocolate. Silkiness building midpalate with a long clean dry finish.
Conclusions: Nice cab merlot for most red wine situations. Should be fine for five or six years, but has developed nicely in youth." lfw
