Ripe, succulent and tight-grained, this delivers a steady stream of boysenberry and raspberry coulis notes laced with singed cedar and apple wood, along with flashes of iris, sage and dried anise. Its strong, savory edge ripples nicely through the extended finish. Best from 2027 through 2039. 1,188 cases made.

The nose of this Cabernet leads with aromas of fresh black plum, blackberry concentrate, tar, cocoa powder, and flowers. The palate delivers flavors of black cherry compote, cinnamon, dark chocolate, leather, licorice, and violets in a framework of intense tannin. Give this some time to settle and enjoy with grilled steaks or chops.

Generous and rich, showing layers of grilled lemons, spices, lanolin and beeswax. The palate is textural and rounded, with a cloying mouthfeel and balanced acidity. Drink sooner rather than later. Drink now.
