A solid red with ripe plum, cherry and vanilla character. Full and savory with round and ripe tannins and a long, intense finish. Approachable, but better in 2015.
John Sweeney, JJ Buckley, November 2012
A young, vibrant red from Graves that is medium bodied and fresh. This is a nice 2009 value that shows a leaner style of this vintage, with crushed rocks, forest floor, fresh flowers and red cherry. Bright on the palate, with red fruit, medium grained tannins and zippy acidity. Forget about this for several years and drink 2015-2022.

A major sleeper of the vintage, this blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is another "best ever" performance. Notes of tobacco leaf, hot rocks, sweet kirsch and black currants are impressively displayed in this medium to full-bodied, velvety textured, very seductive style of wine. Drink it over the next decade.
