...Lavender, spice, menthol, licorice, mocha and leather are all laced together as this riveting wine opens in the glass. The 2018 is going to need at least a few years to come together, but it is captivating, even in the early going. The Pure Magic is a five barrel blend from the B, D and F blocks, which includes the oldest 337 Clone Cabernet (BlockB) and Clone 6 Cabernet, of which there is very little left (Block D).

...Thrilling and incredibly pure notes of crème de cassis, spring flowers, damp earth, graphite, and violets all emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with an ethereal, full-bodied, flawless texture that carries silky tannins and a monster of a finish.

It should evolve for 25+ years. (January 2021)
