This classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (43%), Merlot (42%) and Cabernet Franc (15%) shows a dusty, earthy nose with hints of lead pencil and black raspberries. Caramel and blackberry flavors balance soft tannins for a velvety finish. This wine has enough acidity to match with Salmon and enough richness for grilled meats. Best Buy.——W.E.(5/1/2002)—— 87
