This layered, polished and handsomely oaked wine brims with aromas like vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. These lead to lush berry and dark plum flavors on a texture of fine-grained tannins. Velvety in mouthfeel and delicious to sip, the American-oak-aged wine is best now-2028.

Appealingly old school, with briary cherry, dried sage and cracked pepper flavors that zip toward zesty tannins. Drink now through 2031. 7,500 cases made.
