The wine is ripe at 14.9% alcohol but feels very harmonious and balanced, clean and focused. It matured in French oak barrels, 10% of them new, for 15 months. Drink 2022-2027. —L.G.
Aromas of cherries, blackberries, dark plums, violets and blueberry pie. It’s full-bodied with creamy, firm tannins. Polished, supple and dark-fruited. Drink or hold. -JS
