Blackberry, black pepper, and dark cherries. Powerful bouquet. Very easy to drink, tastes younger than 12 years old. Well integrated at this point.

2012 - $40 retail, purchased at less than half; extraordinary value; luscious, fruit forward bouquet that takes a few minutes and some swirling to open up; medium body, with slightly tannic, medium finish; bought a case, plan to buy more; a diamond in the not so rough; 81% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon; a great varietal marriage.

Mostly merlot (81%, with the rest CS), made from Rutherford fruit by Aaron Pott. Lovely bouquet from the get-go, but the palate really benefits from 90 minutes of air, becoming smoother and more integrated over that time. If I had more, I'd wait another year or so before opening them but there's plenty to like at present for those who'd rather not wait. Solid value at $34 locally.
