Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Gravelly Meadow opens with a lovely floral perfume of violets and rose hip tea with a core of chocolate-covered cherries, mulberries, blueberry compote and plum preserves plus hints of wood smoke, tobacco and menthol. Full-bodied and firmly framed with grainy tannins and background freshness, it has gorgeous earthy layers and a mineral-tinged finish. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Tight and focused on a core of currant, blackberry, spice, black licorice and cedar flavors, gliding along on the aftertaste, which is pure and plush. This gets better with aeration. Best from 2021 through 2033. 530 cases made.–JL
