Welcome to the blackberry patch! Enticing aromas of blackberry pie lead to a viscous and mouth coating palate. Perfectly integrated natural acidity is framed by abundant tannins that are chewy and coating but not angular, giving way to an incredible, long-lasting finish. – Bob Foley, Winemaker

Thick and rich, this offers a plush, velvety mouthful of dark chocolate, blueberry pie, Earl Grey tea and toasted walnut bread, with a touch of caraway mingling with spicy cigar box accents on the long, detailed finish. Drink now through 2026. – M.W., Wine Spectator, December 15, 2016  92 points
