Black fruits and creamy mocha flavors fill the mouth, layered by sweet oak spices and an aromatic lift. Friendly, concentrated and persistent, this wine has ample presence and lots of intensity. —E.C.B
Reviews
A sleek, intense red hallmarked by a beam of pure cherry flavors. While the cherry and red berry fruit, spice and stony mineral elements are locked up by the muscular structure, this is long and resilient on the finish. Best from 2028 through 2045.- Bruce Sanderson
A spicy red, this exudes cherry, sandalwood, vanilla and floral flavors, with an underlying vein of minerality. Bracing and vigorous, with midpalate intensity and a punchy aftertaste that expands for at least a minute. Best from 2027 through 2042. - Bruce Sanderson
Expressive, from the effusive aromas of rose, sandalwood, wild strawberry and cherry to the silky texture and the aftertaste of floral, fruit, spice and mineral influences. Harmonious, alluring and complex, this is hard to resist now, yet all indications suggest this has excellent aging potential. Best from 2027 through 2043. - Bruce Sanderson
An ethereal red, offering aromas and flavors of rose, peony, wild strawberry, cherry, sandalwood, stone and toasty oak. Sleek and silky, with beautifully integrated tannins and a complex, well-delineated aftertaste. Best from 2027 through 2042. - Bruce Sanderson
Fragrant and supple, exuding strawberry, cherry, rose, sandalwood and cardamom flavors. Elegant in feel, harmonious and charming. - Bruce Sanderson
An intense red, with macerated cherry, strawberry, graphite and floral flavors wrapped in toasty oak, underscored by a muscular structure. - Bruce Sanderson
