Mostly Cabernet but blended with Merlot, Cab. Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verodot (hence the name).
1996---The Wine Spectator named it the wine of the year, and it deserved it. Heavy mouth feel, lots of rich fruit and gentle tannins, aging very gracefully ****++
2001---Rich and very spicy with heavy minerality and wonderful violet notes ****
2003---This one is smokey with rich leather flavor the dark fruit just a supporting player ****+
2006---Very approachable with less leather (don't get me wrong I love leather in wine but most wine drinkers find the intensity of leather off-putting) spicy with the fruit once again playing a supporting role ****
