Tasting notes
The 2008 Ode to Picasso emerges from the glass with an exotic bouquet of incense, tar, tobacco and sweet spices. It is one of the more linear wines in this lineup, yet it impresses for its length and classiness. There are elements of darkness and introspection here that makes this a fascinating, contemplative wine. Ode to Picasso is 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah and 10% Merlot.

Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. I was very impressed with the wines I tasted from Behrens Family Winery. These bold, racy wines are long on exuberance and sheer personality. Tel.
