93pts Wine Enthusiast

A rich, creamy texture floats lush black fruits and intricate oak spices in this full-bodied, palate-saturating wine. Cooked blueberries, blackberry jam and espresso crema come to mind when sipping this elegant, velvety wine. Best from 2024-2034.

The nose is powerful and lifted, with classic aromas of blackcurrants, cigar box and mulberries. The palate is full-bodied with firmly integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of wild blackberries, coffee beans and graphite. Balanced and integrated.

Winemaker Notes

Rich, lush and structured, the 2018 vintage displays intense aromas of black currant, cassis and crushed violet. is wine is velvety with a smooth, lingering nish of herbal notes, vanilla and cocoa. Enjoy this wine now with a grilled porterhouse, rack of lamb, or a winter vegetable roast or lay a few bottles down in your cellar to enjoy in 4 to 6 years.
