The blend is two thirds Cabernet, 21% Merlot and about 5% each Malbec and Syrah. It’s an easy-drinking wine, with a palate-pleasing spread of plum, spice, toast, cinnamon and chocolate. There is a suggestion of Walla Walla dust and the wine really expands into the glass (and on into the palate) if you give it a good hour to breathe.——P.G.(12/15/2011)—— 90
