Deep, dark and elegant, this full-bodied wine sips easily despite significant tannins since they are silky and fine-grained. Black cherries, blackberries and blueberries blend with hints of charred oak and iron for a complex, edgy palate. Best from 2028–2038.

Sports tasty flavors of cassis, plum reduction and boysenberry preserves that stay focused and fresh, lined with anise, apple wood and bramble along the way. A bit toasty on the finish, but there's enough fruit to handle it; just let this unwind with some light cellaring. Best from 2024 through 2033. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 5,444 cases made.
