"This Cabernet blend is simply brimming with ripe, juicy, complex flavors of black cherry, currant, wild berry and plum. The wine is sharply focused, supple and elegant in texture and capped by a lingering, flavorful finish. Contains Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2000 through 2010. 3,900 cases made. –JL

"The powerhouse, opaque purple/blue-colored 1996 Les Pavots is a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc. The nose offers up blackberry, licorice, cassis, and pain grille aromas. The superb extract, well-defined personality, and smoky, licorice, Asian spice, and blackberry flavors provide a thrilling tasting experience. It was bottled with neither fining nor filtration. There are approximately 2,800 cases of this fabulous effort. Anticipated maturity: now-2025. "
