This wine is 75% Cabernet Franc and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, all from Stillwater Creek Vineyard from select barrels. Aromas of fresh herb, green pepper, crushed nut and bittersweet chocolate lead to full-bodied black fruit and barrel flavors, laced with vanilla notes. The tannins give a firm squeeze. The oak (50% new French) is a bit prominent at present. Give it some additional time in the bottle to settle in. Sean P. Sullivan

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.
