Compliments of my friend Jordan - thank you! Big monster fruit bomb of dark berries, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate and oak.

As Gomer Pyle used to say "Shazam!" Giving it an extra point just due to my surprise.

Deep and dark purplish red. Layered nose with some new French oak influences. Notes of cinnamon, pencil shavings, dark red berries, dark bitter cocoa and cassis. Heavy tannins (7/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Needs a bit of time to beef up and integrate further. Layered palate with bramble berries, black cherries, blackberries, spices and tons of crushed gravel. Long and lingering finish. Drink from 2018 till 2033. (93+)

Black cherry, plum, cassis, nutmeg, vanilla and cocoa. M- acid, body and round tannin. Everything well integrated. Balanced. Elegant and powerful.

1 hour decant(decent chunky/fine sediment). A majestic dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: black cherry/plum, nutmeg, oak, smokey earth, cedar. Taste: soft, smooth, juicy wine with blackberry, dark cherry, cedar, earth and a medium plus dry potting soil/cocoa finish. YUM!
Purchased on a recent visit...beautiful indoor/outdoor tasting room featuring their small production wines.  If you want to throw down some serious change they offer a terrific multi course food and wine pairing in the underground cellar.
