Full-bodied with a rock-solid frame of very firm, chewy tannins, it delivers bags of black fruit with plenty of herbal sparks lifting the finish." Jeb Dunnuck: "Kirk Venge, the son of Nils Venge, is the consulting winemaker for Macauley, and if so, he has clearly turned in an all-star, world-class performance. His father made the first 100-point Napa Valley wine, the 1985 Groth Reserve, but I think the son has taken up his father’s skill set and now is beginning to build on it. The Macauley Vineyard wines from look to be the finest wines they have made to date, so get on board."

Spicy oak frames a core of cassis, dark cherry, chocolate. More power than plush. I’m sure it will soften a bit more with air.
