About

Rating:

95

"Victor Schoenfeld and his team of winemakers keep turning out wines that earn between 95-96 points. That, of course, is no cause for complaint. A blend this year of 41% Syrah, 33% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Sauvignon. Super-dark garnet in color, full bodied, ripe and expressive, showing still-firm tannins and generous smoky/spicy oak that needs only time to settle down. On first attack black cherries, blackberries and peppery overtones, those yielding to purple plums and sweet spices, all leading to a remarkably long and polished finish that goes on and on, seemingly without end. Approachable upon release but best 2015-2025, perhaps longer."
