Great nose of dark berries and what I’d call smokey greens (local pizza place reference). Fine tannins, but smooth, then a nice whack of blackberry juiciness that carries into the long finish. Notes at 4 hours of air. Terrific!

DeLille’s drinking chart shows this vintage as not ready to drink (HOLD), but tonight I thoroughly enjoyed the 2014 HH...it was smooth and structured, so don’t be afraid to imbibe now! Enjoy!

Medium to full bodied with long finish. Very smooth with just a bit of tannin structure. Fruity with some notes of minerals and menthol and a touch of spice. Excellent wine that seems to be just entering prime drinking period.

My wife and I tasted this at the Carriage House on 9/13/18. It had a deep, rich, complex nose of black currant, plum, black cherry, mocha, cocoa, herb and spice aromas. The palate was rich, ripe, layered and dry with flavors of black currant, plum, black cherry, mocha, cocoa, leather, herb and spice.

Aromas still bramble and cedar.
Dusty tannins, medium plus acidity, juicy black berries with olives, some herby notes. Long and elegant finish
