"A proprietary blend of 69% Merlot 28% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot is the 2007 Tenacious. Surprisingly elegant as well as full-bodied and deep it exhibits a dense ruby/purple color followed by a sweet nose of subtle spicy oak intermixed with chocolate mocha plum and Chinese black tea deep fleshy flavors and striking freshness. This impressive well-made red should drink nicely for a decade or more." 92 Points Wine Advocate
