One of the most successful wines of the vintage, this blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot achieved 13.5% natural alcohol. It exhibits a deep ruby/purple color along with sweet notes of creosote, graphite, lead pencil shavings, black currants, plums and licorice. Medium to full-bodied and silky with good underlying acidity, it is a juicy, savory, quintessentially elegant wine that will benefit from several years of cellaring and last for 15+ years.

This muscular red is inky in color and delivers dark flavors of cassis, anise, tar and tobacco. There's solid, polished tannins and just enough acidity to keep it all fresh. Brooding now, but harmonious. Best from 2013 through 2020. 5,830 cases made. -TM

Rich, opulent nose of ripe black fruit, creamy new oak, minerals, earth, tobacco and spice. A fine bed of fruit is supported by comforting tannins. Very well presented with a long, convincing finish. Alc: 14%.
