This is a full-bodied, densely packed and muscular wine, concentrated in tar, chocolate, leather and tobacco leaf. Black pepper-laced tannins fill the palate alongside a generosity of bold, brambly black cherry and blackberry, begging for more time in the bottle. Enjoy best from 2023 through 2025.

Big, rich, powerful and tannic, this is a deeply extracted, chewy style, with compact dark berry, dusty herb and cedary oak flavors. Resembles a barrel sample at this point, which bodes well for the future, provided the tannins ease up and loosen their grip. Best from 2018 through 2026.
