A profound blend of 44% Cabernet Franc, 44% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Malbec, with 56% of the fruit from Chalk Hill, 26% from the Alexander Valley Mountain Estate, 14% from Knight's Valley and 4% from Bennett Valley, the 2007 is a wine of unbelievable intensity. It boasts a deep blue/purple color as well as notes of acacia flowers, graphite, licorice, blackberries, blueberries and a hint of burning embers/charcoal, superb intensity and purity, and abundant tannin in the finish...

@Ron R @David A Lentine @Mike Rowe @Kirk Alexander My 1st time tasting this wine and what an impression it made.,Beautifully intergraded, powerful yet soft and supple. Parker scored it 100 and I now know why! My only minute., minute., minute criticism: I wish the finish was a little longer. Other than that., it was pretty freaking good!!
