| 60% Cabernet Sauvignon Callioux & Old Stones, 40% Syrah Old Stones
2008 Vintage: 95pts & Editors' Choice Wine Enthusiast "Edgy and tight, with sharply defined corners--herbalo, with a leafy/stemmy note, well integrated into wild, brambly berry fruits. The 50% new oak is virtually invisible at this point; it fills out the mouthfeel but does not show specifically. 94pts Wine Spectator "Muscular and powerful, brimming with ripe currant, blackberry, blueberry and meat flavors, yet graceful enough to do a pirouette as it spins into the finish. Lingers effortlessly as the flavors keep blasting away against polished tannins. Needs time only to tame the ebullience. Best from 2014 through 2010." 94pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah in which the latter component dominates the nose. Ripe, spicy, and well balanced, this structured wine will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and drink well through 2023."
The most creator ever! So deep. So expressive. So complex and compelling. Olive, earth, spice. Who needs to go to heaven when you can stick around here and drink this wine?
