Rich and expressive on the nose, this offers ripe red and dark berries, dried orange peel, sweet licorice and a hint of cedar. The medium- to full-bodied palate shows tightness and firmness with a layer of oak spices over the succulent core of berry fruit. Lightly austere at the end, with hints of ground cloves and walnuts. Drink or hold.

Bright and pure, this red evokes black cherry, blackberry, plum, cedar, licorice and earth flavors. Tightens up, with sinewy tannins, leaving an aftertaste of sweet spices and toasty oak. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2028 through 2036. 1,000 cases imported.
