The 2003 Double T is a proprietary Napa Valley claret blend of all five red Bordeaux grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. Pomegranate aromas and black cherry flavors, a pretty crisp mouth feel for a red, and a medium body that permits you to enjoy the long tail of this wine without the puckering and drying of heavy tannins. Like a newborn horse it's not perfectly balanced, but it's serviceable for an evening in with a good movie and the dogs at my feet. I enjoyed it on a Thursday night with a slab of Cognac-flavored pork paté and some crackers.
