Pure perfection from this talented team the 2021 Estate Cuvee checks in as 50% Syrah 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Petit Verdot that was raised in 80% new French oak. Absolutely incredible aromatics of crème de cassis blueberries violets ground pepper and graphite give way to a full-bodied red with a seamless elegant mouthfeel ultra-fine tannins a deep layered mid-palate and that rare mix of power and elegance that's so hard to come by. It shows the pure layered elegant style of the vintage and this beauty offers pleasure today yet will ideally be given 3-4 years in the cellar and it will evolve for two decades at a minimum.

The 2021 Estate Cuvée (a 20th-anniversary edition) is composed of 50% Syrah 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Petit Verdot. Its aromas are highly complex and pure! Chocolate-covered cherry and crushed blueberry scents are complemented by wafts of thyme sage vanilla dark spices and savory tones plus soaring violet perfume. The full-bodied palate is polished and effortlessly balanced offering powdery tannins a bright spine of acidity and a tremendously long finish laced with spice and floral perfume. This elegant expressive blend will be long lived in the cellar.

Immediately seductive and perfumed on the nose with aromas of dark cherries blackberries cassis violets cedar and plenty of sweet oak spices. It's full-bodied with knit-tight tannins and a velvety texture. Spicy and vibrant with poise. Good vitality with a controlled power all along. Concentrated and full of energy with a generous peppery and berry-loaded finish. 50% syrah 30% cabernet sauvignon and 20% petit verdot. Try after 2026.
