"La Joie 2013, 46% Knights Valley, 32% Chalk Hill and 22% Alexander Valley, is a blend of 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Revealing lots of graphite, cedar wood, charcoal, crème de cassis and hummus, it could well keep for 50+ years. It resembles a Pauillac Cru Classé and displays sublime richness and complexity."
