A nice Paso style Bordeaux blend. Fruit forward. Big burst of blackberry. Softened by the Petit Verdot. Mid-palette finish.

Blueberry blackberry's dark deep fruits are layered by very fine and silky tannins and a finish of spring flowers. This is a full-bodied wine.

Good showing here. Tight tannins that should be better with age. Now just need to convince my sister to hang onto the rest of the case for a few years...

Too young right now, but expect this to be great in another four years.

Very fruit forward to start and then opens up nicely with time.
Recommend laying this 2014 vintage down for several years

Decanted for 2 hrs. Initially a little tannic but after 2 hours drinking great. Cab flavors really came out. Went very well with some prime rib. I had this two years ago and really much better since then.
