James Suckling

Polished but bold and textured, this deeply flavored wine offers black cherry, blueberry and raspberry accents, along with spicy, savory elements from small amounts of malbec, petite sirah and merlot. Moderate tannins lend a light snap to the texture.

A very fine-tannined cab with redcurrants, berries and hints of fresh herb aromas and flavors, with some chocolate and hazelnut. Medium-bodied. Delicious and polished. Drinks beautifully now but can age nicely.

A lot of chocolate, coconut and vanilla on the nose with some ripe dark fruit. Some tobacco, too. Medium-bodied, firm and fruity. Delicious now.
