Not the most complex version of this collaboration between the famed Antinori family and Chateau Ste Michelle. But, still enjoyable. Offers up aromas of dark berries, mint, and chocolate which carries over to my palate with additional tannic structure to help lengthen the finish.

One of my favorite red blends. Well structured. Silky smooth, soft but noticeable tannins. Long finish. Mellow fruit. Pairs well with almost everything.

Over ripe and jammy. Stewy, smooth and warming. A crowd pleaser for sure. 2013, $100

2002 vintage WA Wine. Delicious flavor of fresh raspberry and light strawberry. The cassis and dark cherry are hidden in the background of the bouquet, but don't overpower. Drinking well but on its way down. Drink soon,

2006 vintage ! Been saving this bottle for a special occasion and that is tonight! Elegance of age but still powerful perfection, garner color, aroma of blueberry and cedar & spice, texture is luxurious with bright tannins. And with that we see are son off to his new POST.
