"Come to the orchard in Spring.
There is light and wine, and sweethearts
in the pomegranate flowers.
If you do not come, these do not matter.
If you do come, these do not matter"
Rumi
Pomegranates and fresh blackberries all the way - beautiful vintage. Happy Persian new year! 🍷

This is magical...
Expansive nose of sweet tobacco, soy sauce and a hint of cloves.
On the palette, it's plush and expansive. Fleshy black fruits lead into a big tannic structure, which we love. The wine has a long tail, which finishes sweet, with a kiss of acidity. This needs a little more time in the bottle, but it's already very classy.
Thanks to @Eric Shanks who gifted us this glorious example. Happy new year to you and yours, mate. — 7 years ago

Slightly lighter (still weights a ton) version of Caldwell's gold label. Less fruit, more leather and balance. Another winner. — 8 years ago

On the nose; ruby, glowing, ripe, slightly candied fruits of; blackberries, dark cherries, blue fruits and black raspberries. Soft minerals if you can call them that, caramel, cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate, whiff of black licorice and perfumed, red florals & roses. The beauty and quality of the fruits turn the eyes up. Bright and a sense dull at the same time. The body is full and beautiful. Tannins nicely round and soft for a 13. Its extremely silky & elegant. Fruits of; blackberries, blue fruits, plum, dark cherries, creamy raspberries, black raspberries, black plum and strawberries paint the background. Fruits are a touch gummy. Vanilla, caramel, dark chocolate, anise, mocha, soft leather, wood shavings, fine crushed rock powder & fine chalky minerals. Acidity near perfect. The structure, balance & length are well executed harmony. The finish is beautiful, well polished and lasts two minutes. Excellent pairing of Guinness Braised Beef Short Ribs, Horseradish Mashed Potatoes & Haricots Verts from Davis Estate Chef Mark Caldwell and featured in the middle left photo. Other photos of; the vines above the Estate, lobby and the vines/view from the Estate terrace. — 6 years ago
