The 2015 Canon has always been tremendous, but the best bottle was one I drank, rather than tasted, this past spring. Some wines need to be fully experienced to be truly appreciated. The 2015 Canon is one of them. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, December 2018)

Very dark and sweet. Strong oak and intense Spicy fruit. Black pepper and deep finish. This is way too young but pretty serious.
