Another impressive offering from Michael David. Nice, peppery finish to help balance the big fruit flavor and sweetness. Explosion of flavors in your mouth. Great tannins. Good acidity.đź‘Ťđź‘Ť

The nose is rich and luxurious. Cassis and sweet, ripe blueberries stride abreast with sweet oak spice. Vanilla, cedar, and a little bit of mocha come through robustly, but they keep their place alongside the fruit and don’t try to steal the show. On the palate, this wine means business. It’s a luscious drink, but it’s too powerful to be relegated to an easy chair. It wants to work, and what it wants to work on is beef fat. You can enjoy this wine all by itself - if tannins are your thing - but you need to pair it with a thick, marbled piece of steak to really set it free.The dark fruit flavors really do play a secondary role to the tannic structure.
