A rich and flavorful red with balance and precision for the vintage. Lots of blueberry character with hints of asphalt and sage leaf. Full body. Silky. Excellent winemaking.
Hides tannic muscle amid a dense, supple core of anise, black licorice, dusty herb and cedar flavors. A style well-suited for hearty fare and a long decant. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot.
No shortage of depth or intensity, but the relatively soft tannins give the wine a bit more early appeal than is typical for the year. Blueberry jam, smoke, crème de cassis, licorice and savory herbs meld into the plush, inviting finish.
Terrific up-front fruit – blueberries, blackberries and cassis – an opaque purple color, and hints of cedar wood, forest floor and incense are all present in this multi-layered, rich, concentrated wine
