“Aromas of tar, smoked beef and charred wood give depth to the blueberry-sorbet backbone on the nose on this reserve bottling. The palate also combines those elements, showing smoked beef with blueberry-compote flavors, as well as vanilla, nutmeg, more tar and a peppery spice that moves into the finish.” – Matt Kettmann

2017 SAVANT 95 POINTS

The Tasting Panel (April)

“A blend of 65% Syrah and 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, this magnificent expression of both varieties claims a stake in the unique character of this region. Bold, approachable, lush on the palate, it demonstrates structure as much as it does a seductive quality. Aromas of coffee, blackberry, black bean are intense and pleasurable. Bold notes of cedar, grilled meat, leather and black fruit fill the mouth. Barrel aged for 21 months in 53% new French oak.”
