Eye: A medium purple color, not too inky. Nose: black fruit and a faint cinnamon note, maybe some vanilla after it opened up. Taste: a little hot but balanced by the acidity. Ripe blackberry and plum, a little bit of leather. Silky tannins

The Cabernet is dominant, but the other grapes, particularly the 30% Merlot bring the complexity and structure that make this wine a delight to drink. There’s cinnamon, plum and coffee (and more) in the profile. It needed to sit in the glass to open up and because of that, probably has at least another five years of peak drinking left. It’s not inexpensive, but definitely worth the $35 to $40 price.

Among the best of the Maestro vintages. An absolutely glorious bouquet. As good as the 2014 Maestro.
