Super expressive ‘17 Vineyardist “Calarcadia”. Plentiful aromas of ripe cherries, dark berry fruit, cigar wrapper, barrel spices, graphite, florals, tobacco, gravel, minerals, espresso and orange peel. Bold and balanced, well-structured, nice acid with chewy tannins on long finish. AG 97 JD 97+ SS 96-97!

Killer cab by the Vineyardist. Diamond mountain exemplified by big purple fruit, not too sweet. Tannins are melting beautifully already, but also would be great 10 or 20 years from now.

the taste is far better than the aroma ripe blackberries, mocha, candied black cherries, chocolate, crushed stones, tobacco, rose petals, Christmas fruitcake, loads of minerality, earth notes, crème de cassis, substantial , yet smooth tannins
