Deep and dark purplish ruby red. Dark cocoa on the nose with notes of chalk, vanilla, coconut, light blueberries, black currants and spices. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium plus body. Layered palate with vanilla, baking spices, blueberry, cassis and a bit of heat. Medium plus finish that is a touch dry. Drink till 2022.

Massive with great aromatics that keep on giving. Syrah from Stagecoach is always good, blended with Cab Franc

Take a small majority of Syrah, add a very heathy dose of Petit Verdot and complete with Cabernet Franc and this is what you get!

The nose is completely intoxicating. Firm tannins. Long finish. Should have held longer. Will be great in 2-4 years.

Gorgeous dense blueberry-vanilla-cinnamon-caramel-sandalwood nose. Palate is slightly less impressive. Medium-bodied, tart fruit mix, aromatically perhaps a tad monolithic and 'simple'. Very good, but needs to develop some complexity...
