  Muted scents of bramble fruits and muted taste to match. Enjoyable red blend but perhaps is beginning to age out.

  The nose was dark yet restrained showing notes of licorice up front, as well as blackberry, dark soil tones and floral freshness. On the palate, I found silky textures with saturating dark red fruits and sweet spices. It finished medium-long with saturating red fruits and clenching tannin.

  Some Late Summer Samples: Bold purple color. On the nose: black currant, saucy plums, smoky charcoal, black pepper, violets and vanilla. The palate is full and supported by a deck of solid tannins, although some moderate acidity and juicy fruit help balance it all out. Black currant, tangy blackberries, roasted fig paste, the fruit melds with charcoal, vanilla, cedar shavings, cocoa powder, and dark roast coffee grounds. Complex, long, mineral and earth finish – those mountain vineyard qualities really show through in this wine. Delicious but this will really improve over the next four to five years easily, and hold for quite some time. Cabernet with 7% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot, aged 20 months in all new French oak. This is a reliably excellent wine, vintage in and out, but the 2014 is gorgeous.
