This 1,000-case blend from various Sonoma County vineyards owned by Jess Jackson is composed of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. A smoky, black currant, licorice, and toasty oak-scented bouquet is followed by a full-bodied red displaying an expansive mouthfeel, a muscular, broad shouldered texture, and a deep, rich, moderately tannic finish. The tannins are sweet, the acidity is low, and the wine is already drinkable. Enjoy this seriously endowed red over the next 15 years. Score - 93. (Robert Parker Jr., erobertparker.com, Dec. 2008)
