Vinous

(15% alcohol): Bright, saturated ruby-red. Alluring scents of black raspberry, bitter cherry, mocha, cocoa powder and smoky minerality. At once fine-grained and vibrant in the mouth, with an element of dried herbs complicating the very bright dark raspberry, bitter chocolate and licorice flavors. Offers bulletproof density but no undue weight, thanks to enlivening minerality and sound acidity. This wine is just beginning to unfold today and still needs to be held. Tannins are firm and dusty but not dry. 03/2018

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate

A blend of 90% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec (52% Chalk Hill, 45% Alexander Mountain Estate and 3% Bennett Valley fruit), the 2008 may have even greater intensity and richness than the 2007. Still young and unformed, it exhibits phenomenal richness and equilibrium as well as a finish that lasts nearly a minute. Its dense plum/purple color is accompanied by notions of black fruits, forest floor, truffles and spring flowers. It should age for 25-30 years. 05/2011
