They picked right up until the light October rain, waiting until it had passed before continuing. Those extra few days have contributed to the particularly soft and silky quality of the tannins in the Cabernet Sauvignon, which have a gorgeous density to them. This is a serious wine that could stand up against many Médoc grand vins. The blend here is 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.\u003cbr\u003eClosure: Cork\u003cbr\u003eAlcohol: 13.30%\u003cbr\u003eGrapes: 4% Cabernet Franc 54% Cabernet Sauvignon 37% Merlot\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Advocate \u003cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\"\u003e|\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 0, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRP 90\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Dec 1, 2018\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDrink: 2020-2036\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2016 Reserve de la Comtesse is a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc.
