Juslyn Vineyards Perrys Blend 2004

This blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc is bold and elegant. The color is inky-purple like blood. The nose carries aromas of spicy jam, roses, saddle leather and a touch of baked figs with sweet tobacco. From the start, this Napa red is a bit racy, with spicy clove and hints of cinnamon followed by cherries, raisins, and fig. The light tannin structure is balanced by raspberry and a surprising tang of cranberry. This gorgeous wine has a long, lingering finish that straddles the line between earthy and sweet.
