Round and juicy, this red delivers black cherry, plum, tobacco, and iron flavors, with a light smoky undertone. Fluid and harmonious, with solid tannins lining the long finish. Drink now through 2028. —B.S.
What We Thought: Abig red cherry nose leads to a very smooth, full-bodied palate filled with ripe black cherry fruit, peppery spice, notes of espresso, and plenty of supple but well-structured tannins.
