Light and creamy with notes of lemon, apple, pear, and pineapple and just a kiss of butterscotch. 

A supple, charming style, with smooth tannins leading to a mix of gravel- and fresh earth-scented plum, blackberry, licorice and road tar notes. Ends with subtle flavor nuances of mocha and baking spices. Drink now through 2026.

Rich and smoky, featuring cherry, strawberry and spice flavors. Picks up a chalky, savory quality as the finish plays out. Best from 2017 through 2028.

A stylish wine driven by vibrant, fresh pear, citrus and honeydew flavors, extended by a mix of oak that turns to butterscotch nuances. Ends a bit raw for now but should reward with time. Drink now.

Beautifully crafted, offering the vibrant presence of a barrel sample, this is rich, dense and opulent, with stylish, jazzy mocha-and espresso-scented oak extending the dark berry, licorice, road tar and savory underbrush flavors. Ends with chewy tannins that end a sense of elegance. Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot.  — J.L.

Lavishly oaked, exhibiting a strong mix of mocha, espresso and smoke notes. The fruit holds its own, with dense blueberry, blackberry, black licorice, tobacco leaf and savory roasted herb flavors, ending with a long, full, sustained aftertaste. — J.L.

Lots of smoke, charcoal, blackberry and licorice notes saturate the palate, with a broad, expansive mix of dense, extracted flavors, firm, fine-grained tannins and a long, full finish that keeps this lively and alluring. —J.L.

An ultrarich, unctuous style that's a real treat, capturing plush flavors of fig, apricot, guava and assorted tropical fruits. Broad and layered, ending with a thick honeyed aftertaste that shows off the smoky toasty oak. – J.L.

Pure, rich and graceful, with a charming core of blackberry, currant and oak, this wows with finesse and refinement, hitting the high and low notes with equal comfort. —J.L.

A round nose, deeply red-fruited – a slow augmentation of rose petals, but with that you have to accept a little green herb. Mouthfilling, with a weight of fruit and slowly growing tannins, but great texture and an impressive mid palate complexity. This flows through to the finish too – long and mouthwatering.
