Winemaker Notes
Critical Acclaim
Dense, chewy oak and tannin dominate in this full-bodied wine that is defined in black currant, cedar and baked cherry. With 7% Merlot, it softens on the midpalate, showcasing nuanced hits of crushed rock and sage.
Brilliant ruby color with a clear rim, the wine offers aromas suggesting black currant, blackberry, cedar, and tobacco. The palate is silken but the tannins are robust now, buttressing ripe red and black cherries. Rather than fruit-centric, the wine feels structured and savory, and its profound acidity and 29 months in French oak have set it up for long aging. I’d like to open this vintage again in 5, 10, 15 years — or more.
