The flagship wine of Laughing Stock has its grape makeup wrapped around the bottle (literally): Merlot 48%, Cabernet Sauvignon 32%, Cabernet Franc 14%, Malbec 4%, potato 2% and all rested 20 months in 48% new French oak – the result in a wine that doles out blue and black fruit, mocha cherry, anise, vanilla and subtle spices ... The finish replays that mocha and adds a touch of cigar box with nice length. Price: $49.99 – Rating: ****
