This ‘14 is much more fruit-driven than the minerally ‘11. Tons of red and black fruits, licorice, cedar and a touch gravelly on the long finish. As good as this is now, I think it will benefit from a few years in bottle.

Dark, glass staining ruby violet hue. Blackberry, blackcurrant, cedar, dark chocolate, and graphite all evident on the nose. On the palate, there are dense, concentrated dark fruits, chewy tannins, and a very long finish. Made by Tor’s winemaker Jeff Ames from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon planted in the red volcanic soil of Oakville’s Tierra Roja vineyard. 14.8 % ABV. 95/4.5. $115.

Plum, black cherry, black currant jam, baking spices, cocoa, and freshly ground espresso beans. A touch of Violet. Big on the palate - m acid. M+ body and chalky tannin. Young but drinkable. Long finish. Balanced.

Dark fruit, especially blackberry, cassis and blueberry, hint of truffle in a nicely balanced wine
