Tasting Panel
Brambly raspberry spices up the aromatics; dusted rose petal tannins play into a graphite “tightness.” It eventually relaxes into espresso savoriness and a spotlight of regal dark fruit—tart and earthbound—with a slate finish. Structure abounds, but the finish of cranberry-pomegranate favors the sumptuous expression of the region’s terroir.

James Suckling
A silky red with plum, blackcurrant and subtle chocolate aromas and flavors. Full body and a dense center palate, yet this remains refined and beautiful. Much better than the 2013. Drink in 2020.

Wine Enthusiast
This Cabernet Sauvignon, with 11% Merlot added, offers intense ripeness and a plush texture of soft tannins. Rich blackberry jam and chocolate flavors are layered with soy and leather notes, benefitting from integrated oak.
