Fruit fully integrated with mid-palate and finish dominated by leather and cigar box. Tannins are soft and acid is perfectly balanced. Alcohol just losing its heat but the body is still med +. Drink now!

Dark ruby color with expansive cassis, tobacco, black cherry, sandalwood, vanilla and a hint of floral aromas. On the palate it's between medium and full-bodied and fresh with an elegant, harmonious character showing well integrated firm, velvety tannins with ample black cherry, plum, black and red currant and a bit of dark chocolate flavors. Long finish. Approachable now with a decant, but you'll be rewarded cellaring a minimum of 5 years.

Medium acidity, medium-minus tannin. Could use 2-3 more years cellaring.

Nice with Filet Mignon. Little pricey for what you get.

Complex and balanced, but flavors not as pronounced as at the winery. Probably drank early or wine needed more time to breathe.

66% cab, 19% Merlot, 15% Sangiovese. Nose of dark berries and cotton candy. Tannic and chewy, fades fast but nice berry flavors.
