Beautifully proportioned, rich in dark berry, dusty cedar and loamy earth, black licorice, herb, olive and tobacco notes, with all the pieces fitting together nicely, ending in a long, tapered aftertaste. Drink now through 2022. – JL

Super concentrated black / purple core with an only moderately lighter rim. This exceptional Cab boasts a complex and refined nose of black currant sweet licorice and crème de casis complimented by a subtle earth driven component and light pencil shavings. Copious amounts of fruits permeate the mid-palate followed by chocolate light eucalyptus sage and blueberry. Opulent and intense as the flavors build through the mid-palate towards a chewy and delicious fruit laden finish.

Dark inky purple core surrounded by a bright purple rim. Rich fruity aromas of blackberry and blueberry swarm around notes of sweet tea and wet stone with a faint hint of toasted oak and crushed peppermint. The wine enters the palate with a wisp of dried coconut followed quickly by a blast of rich dark fruits. Cassis blackberry and black cherry are supported by a backbone of soft approachable tannins. The lush fruit mid-palate pushes on to a finish that lingers with mocha and baker's chocolate.
