The blend is 88% Merlot and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon. From the first sniff to the last give-me-more swallow, this broadly delicious wine is going to win a lot of friends. The pretty strawberry and cherry fruit is generously endowed with mocha and chocolate, but the barrel flavors are not overbearing. Not one for the cellar; enjoy this wine in the fullness of its youth. Paul Gregutt

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
