Good intensity with deep red color and purple tinges. Enticing nose full of cassis, mild spices and graphite. The whole bouquet is very expressive. The palate reveals a well structured and balanced wine with clear-cut flavors, dense middle palate and ripe, silky tannins. Here is a truly great vintage for cellaring from Meyney.

Blend: 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 15% Petit Verdot

Spicy and beautiful with blackberry and currant character. Full and silky, with beautiful fruit and a long finish.
Barrel Sample: 92-95 Points

Green olives, spices and currants on the nose. Full body, with velvety tannins and a juicy finish. Lovely layers of ripe tannins and ripe fruit. Best after 2018.

I clearly underrated this wine from barrel. The finest wine made at this estate since 1982, this opaque black wine is a sleeper of the vintage, with oodles of blackberry fruit interwoven with hints of charcoal, forest floor, licorice and damp earth. Deep, rich, chewy, full-bodied and opulent, this is a fabulous Meyney that, because of its low acidity and very ripe tannin, can be drunk in 3-4 years or cellared for two decades. Bravo!
