Editors' Choice. 0 Pulverized peppercorns and dried oregano aromas give ample seasoning to lush blackberry fruit on this wine from a vineyard planted by the Pisoni and Franscioni families. The firm structure implies that this wine will improve with time, but it's already deliciously savory with lots of thyme, anise, menthol, charred beef and pepper throughout the purple fruit flavors.

Very precise, dense and focused, with a laser beam of blackberry, wild berry, spice and herb flavors. The structure is so perfect that it overshadows the ultratight core. Tannic and cleansing on the finish. Best from 2016 through 2026. 83 cases made. –JL
