This Bordeaux-blend red is as structured as you would expect. It has fine tannins, blackberry fruits and a firm, dry core. With its dense character and powerful acidity it needs to age still. Drink f…

A massive and concentrated wine that is held together by its dark, very dry tannic structure. It shows weight and superripe blackberry flavors that are cut with acidity. Complex and rich, it is likel…

The tannins on this Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend are strong. They numb the mouth, but not so much that you can't enjoy the ripe black currant, cassis and smoky oak flavors. With its inherent balanc…

While this bottling is always interesting, it is dependent on vintage conditions. This bottling, from the excellent 2012 harvest, is Windstream's best ever, a provocative example of a cool-climate Pi…

Some Pinot Noirs are soft and lush. Others are lean and tart. This Pinot is a little of both. A blend of the winery's three single-vineyard 2011s, it shows the qualities of them all. The result is dr…
