<strong> # 34 on Wine Enthusiast's Top 100 Cellar Selections of 2011</strong>; This is the first wine to be blended each year though it is not labeled a reserve. The new vintage has amazing depth running down through a litany of red and black fruits into veins ofearth and tannin and graphite and finishing withdensely textured barrel notes of toast coffee and bitter chocolate. Beautifully proportioned deep and cellar-worthy. Cellar Selection. -P.G.

Focused generous and complex not especially dense but brimming with cherry cinnamon and coffee flavors that persist unperturbed by fine tannins as the finish keeps rolling. Cabernet sauvignon Cabernet Franc Merlot petite Verdot and Malbec. Best from 2012 through 2020.-H.S.
