Marvelous wine; a blend of AVA'S between Stag's Leap, and Diamond Mountain, and as expected, the 14's are great and will get much better in years to come. Big chewy tannins, loads of black plum and red currant, espresso, gravel mineral, and a very lingering finish. A little less chocolatey rich compared to other vintages, which is a nice refresher.

Mixed red and dark fruit nose (pomegranate like) with some light vanilla, full bodied and very smooth, a bit one dimensional although still very good. A positive if this is that it won’t overpower a lighter meal and is very easy drinking without food

Black cherry on the nose, a hint of vanilla. Concentrated and big bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and a nice create finish without the tongue-stripping dryness. Good balance.
