Wine Spectator94 pts

A strapping, grippy style, brimming with dark plum, fig and boysenberry fruit, laden with sweet spice and singed alder notes and showing tarry grip on the back end. Muscular but seductive, this smolders, delivering unusual intensity. Built for serious cellaring. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. Best from 2023 through 2040. 2,081 cases made.
