By far my favorite varietal and maker. — 18 days ago
Delicious wine. Decanted and drank after about 1 hour. Solid fruit and good structure — 19 days ago
This wine is drinking beautifully with concentrated and ripe black cherry, creme de cassis, mulberry, plum, purple fig, violet, black licorice, anise, graphite, pencil shavings, sandalwood, vanilla bean, clove, leather, forest floor, and tobacco notes.
It has an excellent balance of primary, secondary and tertiary characteristics.
On the palate, it has a silky texture and fine-grained tannins. Acidity adds lift. High alcohol contributes to the full body and robust mouthfeel.
It’s made with 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. — a month ago

Dominated by big big luscious fruit… but not overly fruity at the same time. After a 4 hour decant, cocoa and a slight cigar box started to emerge. — 8 days ago
