| TASTING NOTE: Red blends of this type rarely shine as brightly. This ultra concentrated and smooth-textured blend including Merlot, Petite Sirah and Malbec is inky dark in color, luxurious aromatic of blueberries, blackcurrants and mint followed by oak spices and dark chocolate on the palate. Creamy in texture, it is laden in massive but melted tannins. Best from 2026-2036. Cellar Selection. Score - 97 (Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast, Sept. 1, 2023) |
