TASTING NOTE: This perennial head-turner lives up to its pedigree in this vintage, offering a full-bodied, lush and plush experience characterized by soft layers of dark cherry, blackberry, vanilla and a seasoning of cinnamon. The vines are head-trained within a block planted to many other varieties, 15% of which make their way into this wine. Score - 92 (Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, March 1, 2017) Price $ 99.95
