Decanter94 pts

Super high-toned aromatics of bright, crunchy red fruit, with hints of white pepper and sagebrush. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, with rich loamy earth anchoring the vibrant red fruit, nuanced by graphite and supported by mineral-laced, fine-grained tannins on the drying finish. A blend of 54% Merlot, 27% Petit Verdot, and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon from the excellent 2018 vintage.
