I just picked up a bottle of the 2005 Hess Collection Mount Veeder 19 Block Cuvee. It is a blend of CS, CF, Syrah, Malbec ,Merlot and PV. I like most of what I have tasted from them but have never seen this blend from them. Anyone out there tried it?

Not this particular Block 19 bottling, but I've had the similar Mountain Cuvee before. A pretty decent wine, overall, more black fruit-forward and sometimes somewhat oakier than their flagship Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon.
