"This is very ripe. Molettieri, the maestro of the region. Even this heady wine has escaped the compression of his defter touch. Molten raspberry bon bon, sassafras, thyme, lavender and violet. The tannins are thick grape skin-gritty. A yeoman. Loads of power and immediate satisfaction for those who like Áem OTT, without the savory layers or restraint that usually mark the wines here. A rasp of wood tannins to finish. Drink or hold."

"This silky red glides across the palate, with a fine mesh of ripe, juicy crushed boysenberry and black cherry fruit that shows a rich, savory vein of iron, mineral and sanguine notes. This wine's flavors expand, carried by sleek acidity and fine, chalky tannins and backed by hints of red licorice, dried sage, date and cocoa powder that play on the persistent finish. Drink now through 2035. 2,100 cases made, 250 cases imported."
