Striking, with dark, compact notes of huckleberry, wild blackberry, blueberry and espresso that are fragrant, pure and generous. Velvety tannins and details of cigar box, gunpowder tea, fresh cracked black pepper and spice go on and on. The finish is epic. Shiraz, Grenache and Mourv?dre. Drink now through 2035.

Saturated, bright-rimmed ruby. Expressive, smoke-tinged cherry and blueberry aromas are complemented by exotic spice, floral and licorice flourishes. Sappy, penetrating and seamless in texture, offering pliant red and blue fruit, spicecake and candied violet flavors that become firmer through the mid-palate. Finishes with impressive, spicy persistence and with polished tannins adding subtle grip.
