Blend of about 65% Cab Sauv, 25% Merlot and rest Petit Verdot. Deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruit aromas and herb notes. On the palate black raspberry and blackberry, currant-like, with tobacco, leather and smoky oak notes. Fine tannins, mefium+ finish ending with fruit and earthy mineral tones, drinks well now.

Delicious and with a decidedly old-school feel, like a bunch of the 2017s I’ve tried. Nose has just-ripe cassis, cedar, deep clay-like earthiness. It’s focused a linear in the mouth, so different than the dense 18s that followed. There’s nice acids and the tannins are there but in check. Zero jamminess. Lots of savory notes. Great value at a little over $30.
