The 2019 The Don bursts from the glass with a heady mix of blackberry preserves, rubbed sage and sweet smoke. It washes across the palate, creamy and dense, with masses of dark fruit and smoky mineral tones, as grippy tannins slowly saturate with each sip. Structured yet lively and incredibly long, the 2019 leaves nuances of bitter cocoa and salted licorice to gradually taper off. This Cabernet heavy Bordeaux blend is a showboat, but it's also beautifully balanced.

Polished, with handsome black cherry, tobacco and spice flavors that gather tension and structure toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2029.
