Sipping Fine Wine 
The ’19 is a blend of a blend of 37% Merlot, 11% Malbec, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, rest Petit Verdot, 22 months on new French oak. Deep Ruby with aromas of red fruits, herb spice and smoky oak scents. On the palate flavors of black cherry and plums with cinnamon, licorice and cacao, lively acidity. Fine ripe round tannins, well balanced, long finish ending with fruit, tobacco and earthy character. Outstanding!

The bouquet was fantastic. Classic Bordeaux aromas but fruit forward Napa. The body needs time to meld with 15.3 ABV. Will be better in 2-4 years.

A really satisfying wine, heavy on the merlot. The key for these ripe merlot-based CA wines is some structure and discernable second-tier flavors behind the overwhelming dark fruit and alcohol. This one delivers - blueberries on the nose initially, with chocolate cake, earth, and cinnamon. Had sampled the 2018 last year; this far better.
