($95; a 72/28 blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot) Good bright medium ruby. Lively aromas of cassis, licorice and tobacco. Lush and sweet but with good definition and lift to the flavors of black raspberry, coffee and mocha. The juicy, long finish features smooth, sweet tannins that expand with air.

Made from a completely different blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Merlot, the 2006 Altagracia reveals sweet black cherry and black currant fruit intermixed with notions of charcoal and mocha. The wine is lush and full-bodied with sweet tannins, and no hard edges.
