Sourced from several of their single vineyards on Alexander Mountain, Bordeaux blend, 54% merlot. 12 months, 1/3 new French oak. Altitude of grapes is immediately apparent. Fruit is dark ripe and almost floral with fine grained tannins. With a rewarding interplay of dark chocolate, ground coffee, and savory bay leaf on the palette.

For $26 not much to complain about! Nice blend that's hanging in there quite nicely.

Beautiful blend. Has staying power over a week and fills out in the glass as it warms. Looking forward to opening these over the next few years.

Maybe it was just my bottle, but an awful lot of sentiment.
