  A blend of 67% Cab, 25% PV, and 8 Merlot this year.
  Red and black fruits on the nose, combined with spices and coffee notes.
  Palate is full bodied, yet supple and well balanced with clean fruit, not too heavy despite the 15% alcohol.
  Some green and herbal notes on the finish, almost bitter, but quite integrated.

  A Bordeaux-blend this year of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Petit Verdot and 10% Merlot aged for about 13 months in French oak barrels. Dark purple in color, the nose is loaded with ripe black fruit, roasted herbs and toasted oak with a hint of freshly brewed coffee. Very full-bodied with multiple layers of extracted ripe black fruit such as blackberries and a hint of blueberry jam, fleshy plums and cassis, followed by licorice, notes of cracked black pepper, pencil lead, balancing acidity and mouth-draping tannins gripping the mouth with a touch of tar and dark chocolate-covered espresso beans on the very long and supple finish. A great wine that is much more approachable on release now than were its older brothers at the same stage in their lives but with a solid structure that should allow it to develop further complexity for the next 4-5 years or so. 14% Abv.
