This blend of 54% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, and 1% Sangiovese was aged 36 months in 100% new French oak. Still tasting youthful, this edgy red is tense and concentrated, with grippy tannins. Flinty and broad, with crushed blackberries, walnuts, and black tea.
Powdered lemon-vanilla, peaches, and crisp apple, with a mineral base, this light-bodied white shows its delicate nature.
Ripe, mouth-filling notes of pear and peach, with MacIntosh apple and a finish of vanilla-spiced sandalwood.
A bold style, with heady notes of cigar leaf, mushroom, rhubarb, and espresso. Mid-palate, black cherry softens and sweetens, the wine evolving with a lengthy finish.
Juicy, with ample acidity to carry its expressive flavors of cigar leaf, espresso, and black plum.
Aromas of boysenberry and mocha are fresh and inviting. The mouthfeel is dense, with broad strokes of spiced sandalwood plum and Worcestershire. Graphite and black pepper add a beefy layer of savory bliss.
An outstanding Pinot in all important respects, this displays spicy and savory accents that are beautifully interwoven with a delicious core of pure, structurally balanced fruit. Quite soft and silky in texture, it derives just the right measure of firmness from subtle oak and very fine-grained tannins. Convincing and complete – even at an early stage of development.
Brightly lit, with verve and energetic acidity. Black cherry, sweet tobacco, and vanilla ramp up to address a lustrous texture and a bounty of flavor. A hint of minerality at mid-point cleans the palate. Jasmine and rose petals accent with aromatics.
