Smells great! Dark Cherry and some darker fruit. Classic oakville taste is in there but not dominating.

Gift from our friend Pete Gaynor. Excellent bottle. Rich, concentrated, blackcurrant, anise, spices and cherries. Elegant tanins and very accessible now but good potential for cellaring. We liked it a lot.

An absolute showstopper once opened and decanted. Beautifully layered with balanced fruit and acidity. Almost seemed a bummer to open this now—lots of room for this to get even better. Delicious.

I knew this would be a good wine, but it exceeded my expectations. The 2018s still need time in the cellar and I was surprised how approachable this is today. Dark berries, vanilla and tobacco. Should have bought more at $74.

A bit young. Full, dry, raspberries and plums.
