The combo of varieties turns out at 72/11/8/9% cabernet/merlot/malbec/petit verdot, and as is the Amy’s way, this is meant to be enjoyed with youth on its side. However, an extra year or so in bottle will see this come together better. Now it’s all upfront cassis and blackberries, pepperberry and juniper, bay leaves and spearmint. Full bodied, with tannins a little raspy and firm, sweet oak and some green walnut bitterness on the finish. Decant it and serve with hearty fare. Points: 91/100
