Note di degustazione
(a blend of Red Mountain vineyards done in 100% new oak): Bright ruby-red. Blackberry, kirsch , licorice and charred oak aromas are complemented by sexy smoke and coffee nuances. Juicy blueberry, black raspberry and mineral flavors convey an attractive restrained sweetness; nicely broad, even plush, in the middle but not at all heavyhanded. The tannins coat the entire palate on the lingering finish.

Much plusher and more expansive than the Reserve Cabernet, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon The Bully (there’s 4% Petit Verdot in the blend) comes from various parcels on Red Mountain and spent 22 months in 70% new French oak. Giving up lots of creamy licorice, graphite, cassis and black raspberry characteristics, this downright sexy, hedonistic beauty expands on the palate with full-bodied richness, no hard edges, sweet tannin and a great finish. Like all of Chris’ wines, it’s not for those craving delicacy or lightweight flavors and aromas, but it’s a fabulous effort to drink over the coming 10-15 years.
