Probably a little less amazeballs than the 2009 that Obama served the French president when he visited the white house, but still fantastic! A rustic sage and anise note are quite interesting as it lingers long after you swallow. Otherwise, the cherry and cola notes from the cab play off the juicy strawberry and leathery/fleshy notes of the Syrah. Damn this is good!

Cherry and strawberry combine (the cab and Syrah) with some elegant anise, olive, and bacon fat to really please. I have 1 bottle left and I am putting it away for another 3 years.

Full bodied and big in every way. Tight tannins, with core of ripe black fruits, blackberries, black plums, cigar box, vanilla, and spice. Still tight but will open up beautifully over the next couple of years.

A blend of 67 CS 28% Syrah 5 PV this is made by Gilles nicault who is the winemaker who works will all the celebrity winemakers the fruit is from candy mountain and red mountain this wine has a good punt of dark cherry fruit blackberry fruit with dark chocolate and a good amount of earth loamy notes nice complexity on the nose. A thick and chewy wine on the tongue with ripe round tannins very balanced a bigger wine than the feather but just as nuanced. Finish 45+. Excellent+
