The grandeur of the 2015 comes from a combination of a new winery, a new winemaker, and the introduction of a second wine. That trio of changes catapulted the wine—and subsequent vintages—to a higher plateau. The 2015, with succulent dark cherry-like fruit, is concentrated, yet not over-the-top. Great acidity keeps it fresh and amplifies its charms. It’s paradoxically both suave and firm and supported by fine-grained tannins, combining the power of 2009 with the sleekness of 2010.
