A concentrated and ripe Bordeaux-style blend from the winery’s Rutherford and Dollarhide estate vineyards. Aged 19 months in French oak, it coats the mouth with Turkish coffee, fennel and several dimensions of earthy, savory tones. Sweet soil, tobacco, and graphite lead to sturdy tannins that ensure its lengthy finish.
ark chocolate pipe tobacco, black currant, graphite, and espresso set a mood around spiced cedar. Suede-textured tannins are luxurious, with black cherry setting the stage for an enduring finish.
Dark berries and roasted coffee settle into a woodsy, savory frame. Silky and juicy with sage and black peppered cranberries on the luscious finish.
A lean and clean white with some developing nuttiness and prominent oak character. Nicely balanced.
Tobacco and wet slate indicate a robust, broad-shouldered red. Toasted oak and blackberry are at its core.
Winemaker Charles Smith over-delivers for this deeply resonant red. Black cherries and tobacco leaf send that message of substance, followed by balanced acidity. Finishes with dark chocolate and toasted almond cedar.
Generous flavors of black cherry, plum, violets, and dark chocolate settle on suede-coated tannins. Rich and seductive.
Full of promise, the wine opens with white flowers, jasmine rice, and lime blossoms. It’s like taking a bite into a Gala apple, with a juicy clean finish.
