Meaty, smoky nose – plenty of esoteric scent: beef stock, rosemary, charred smokiness and black fruit. Resolved tannins that are ready to drink, and complexity that suggests more to come. (RH)

11-acre north-facing vineyard at elevation of 150 feet on red volcanic rocky soils near Oakville Crossroad. Healthy garnet. Smells of beautifully ripe tomatoes. Soft, sweet and velvet-textured, the sort of wine you could just curl up with on a sofa and read a book – if you were a millionaire. Ready to go! Rich but not sickly. Slight Milk Tray about it but why not spoil yourself? (JR)
As it often is, the 2014 St. Eden is a showy, racy wine. A rush of dark red cherry, plum, mocha, espresso and grilled herbs gives the wine its opulent, flamboyant feel. Even so the St. Eden shows the natural restraint and mid-weight structure of the year.
The Oakville release (yet it’s from a steep hillside vineyard), the 2014 St. Eden has lots of graphite and dusty earth character as well as classic dark fruits, white chocolate, and toasty oak notes. It’s a big, full-bodied, elegant, multi-dimensional beauty that has everything going for it. It’s up with the crème de la crème of the vintage.
