A lot of barrel, but the fruit carries it well. Still showing quite young, definitely has a long drinking window.

Aged 20 months in 80% new French oak. Drinks like a $100 Cabernet. Great wine, great value.

2014 Vintage. A solid wine but a little flat lacking some body. Could use some more time in the bottle. Great price point.
