Paso Robles, supposedly a "right bank" inspired blend - 665% Cab Franc and 35% Merlot - though i gave a bottle to WS1 a while ago and he didn't seem to see much similarity with right bank Bdx!
Juicy and voluptuous, opulent fruit balanced by sweet tobacco and pleasing tarriness which add interest. I like this a lot, and wish it could be found more easily in the UK.
