This is a monster. Licorice and vanilla with a hint of cassis.

Aging beautifully. Dirty Flint. Pencil lead and burnt graphite. Dusty and spicy. Coming together nicely with great cohesion.

A favorite. Dark red color with aromas of ripe fruit, floral notes and perfume spice. Aged for 24 months on French and American oak, the 70% Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon blend shows cherry and blackberry flavors, rich with notes of espresso and oak. Tannins are a bit gritty and savory, good balance carrying fruit to a lingering finish, ending with some earthy tones. Excellent!

Dark berries with hints of slate. Wonderful complement to grilled prime rib.

Solid, bold wine with lots going on. Perfect compliment to balsamic glazed ribs on the grill.

A big fruit, oak bomb. Once it opened up it was quite nice. Getting better with age.
