The 2009 Endre offers up hints of sage rosemary wild cherries and tobacco all supported by vibrant yet-well-integrated tannins. Deceptively medium in body the 2009 boasts considerable structure and intensity to match its highly appealing mid-weight personality. Like many 2009s today the Endre is a bit tight and in need of another year or so of bottle age. The blend is 51% Cabernet Sauvignon 40% Merlot 6% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petite Verdot. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024
