A very eclectic blend of Cabernet, Sangiovese, Petit Syrah and Merlot which works very well. The Tokalon and Georges III Vineyard Cabernet shines through. Still remarkably youthful, ripe, black, red and blue fruit, which paired well with food. The palate is dry, but with good fruit and rich mouthfeel. Very well balanced, with medium (+) acidity, tannins and alcohol. The body, flavor intensity and length are all medium plus, albeit without the wine seeming heavy. This wine is holding up very well and will benefit from decanting. Drink now or in the next 2-3 years.

Terrific new world Bordeaux blend with great acidity, dark fruits with blackberry notes. Must decant for at least an hour for the tannins to calm but once they do, the blend is wonderfully smooth and delicious.

Soft black fruit, tobacco, tar and earth. Smooth and drinking nicely.
