...beautifully balanced wine that feels ever so natural and comfortable in its plus-sized intensity... Dark fruit segues to spice, leather, smoke and cigar box. The wine's substantial textural richness caresses the palate.
Sweet grilled herbs, incense, pine, menthol and espresso are some of the many notes that burst from the glass... Wonderfully alive and opulent, the 2009 is totally spherical in its expression of black fruit. Layers of fruit continue to build in the glass as the wine flows through to a creamy, expressive finish.
Aromas of blackberries, rosemary, blueberries, and spices. Full body, with fine tannins and a racy, clean finish. Very fine indeed. It goes on for minutes.
...opens with bold intensity and personality. Yes, this is a plush and modern wine, but it is also unforgettably delicious. Bright cherry and blackberry are backed by chocolate, spice, leather and pipe tobacco.
Elegant and aromatic, offering cherry, black currant, violet, cedar and tobacco aromas and flavors. Balanced, this lingers with fruit and spice on the finish.
Very full on, very ripe, very Napa! Sweet and concentrated. Pretty drying on the end.
