A blend of four Bdx varietals. So contemporary and dense on the nose. Huge presentation on the palette. Classic blue and blacks fruits, with a massive, opulent finish.

This wine has a deep ruby hue with medium(+) intensity of ripe and supple black plum, red plum, fig, black cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, licorice, leather, sweet tobacco, cedar box, nutmeg, cardamom, coconut, and dill notes.

On the palate, this wine is dry with medium(+) acidity balancing smooth medium(+) tannins and the ripeness of aroma and flavor characteristics. It is delicious!!! And complex. It has runway for further aging in bottle.

Great Napa blend, drinks very easily with a smooth, fruit driven sweetness that is silky and elegant. I really enjoyed it and would definitely choose again.

Very nice. Notes of mushroom and truffle. Smoke and blackberry Medium plus to high acidity. Needs food. Paired perfectly with a rich Mac n cheese with mushroom jus.

Impressively drinkable considering its tender years.
