Energizing tannins and vivid fruit acidity power the massive black fruits and intricate oak spices in this muscular but polished wine. Plump blackberries, baked blueberries, black currants and cedar all add to the compelling flavors. Built to improve and gain complexity with age, this wine should drink best from 2027-2037.

A very attractive red now, with complexity and yummy drinkability. Its medium-bodied with medium, round tannins that are fresh and more-ish. Its dusty and lightly earthy with dark currants as well as tobacco. So much going on, in a subtle and refreshing way. 85% cabernet sauvignon, 10% petit verdot, and 5% malbec. Drink or hold.

Offers a focused mix of warmed cassis, cedar, violet and savory notes that have good freshness and length. Shows a nicely polished structure, without the rusticity that befalls more than a few '20s. Well-done. Drink now through 2035.
