This wine is made by the great Michel Roland and is a blend of 81% merlot 19% Cabernet Sauvignon from weinbau vineyard candy mountain Dionysus and Conner lee vineyard all are warm sites and the Cabernet is from tapteil on red mountain. A very big and seductive bouquet of dark plum and crem de cassis like fruit very rich and ripe with toasty oak spice dried flowers and dark coco very complex and long on the finish. Big and chewy very rich and layered with silky smooth velvety texture with layers of dark chocolate and a very long finish. Finish 50+ wonderful balance and length with a firm hand of acidity — 11 years ago
