Opened and poured into a decanter about five hours prior to dinner. Once poured, this was enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2018 pours a deep garnet with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with fantastic, winsome notes of black currants, blackberries, Serrano peppers, tobacco, purple Flintstones vitamins, dried herbs, rocky earth and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and sanguine; laden with ferrous minerals.

The nose alone is sensational but it needs a pile of air to fully appreciate and the monumental structure almost demands it. A wine with a very long life yet ahead. Drink now with an extended decant and through 2058+. — 2 months ago

All Repris wines are excellent & this is no exception. Eric Bradley has mastered making wines very unique but all share a common smoothness. — 5 years ago

One of the best wines I’ve ever drank. Amazing color and flavor profile. Well balanced and full bodied. And I found it at Trader Joe’s I think. Definitely will get several bottles for my cellar. — 7 years ago
