This had the least fruit in the lineup, and a little too medicinal for my tastes. Delicious, but I prefer the previous cuvees.

The label would appeal to writers, but the wine itself was very enjoyable. Lots of berries, both dark and bright, and the tannins remained solid throughout. A very enjoyable bottle.
