This is tasty stuff, with plenty of coffee and toast wrapped over and around the medium-weight, sappy red fruit flavors. There’s nothing shy here, as the alcohol tops 15%, but the wine carries itself comfortably and the addition of 9% Cabernet Sauvignon adds some muscle to the finish.

Stiffly tannic, this is straight-on boysenberry juice, firm and full-bodied. It shows a little bit of earthiness, hints of herb and a citrusy zip to the acids. The alcohol, pushing 15%, does not intrude.

Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated, the blend also includes about one third Merlot and a splash of Syrah. Tight and somewhat reductive when first opened, it slowly unwraps into a substantial effort, dense with berry, cherry and cassis concentrate. Some not-quite-integrated green tannins remain, and the buttery finish also wants more bottle age. But a good effort overall.
