This is a blend of 81% cabernet sauvignon, 4% petit verdot, 7% cabernet franc, 6% merlot and 2% malbec from Napa.  Perhaps the "weakest" of the 8 vintages tried at this tasting, it is still an outstanding wine.  Ruby/purple in color, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose is nice with cassis, black cherries, tobacco, spice and an interesting minerality.  Full bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, cassis, cherries, spice and a slight caramel note.  Long finish.  Nice on its own or with food.  This worked well with vegetarian Lasagna.  Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.
