13.8% alc., 160 cases, $60. Sourced from a Los Carneros Vineyard in the Sonoma Coast AVA. Harvest Brix 24.5º. Aged 15 months in French oak barrels, 33% new. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Intriguing aromas of black plum black tea, black pepper and tobacco. Mid- weight in sap, offering flavors of black cherry and purple berry. A bit mysterious with a thread of oak in the background and some finishing purpose. Score: 91. Reviewed February 28, 2021
