Almost opaque in the glass, this powerful bottling, which includes 2% each of Grenache and Viognier and was aged in mostly new French oak for 23 months and begins with aromas of cassis, cola, black pepper and violet. It's silky smooth on the palate at first, before the tannins stand up to balance the rich flavors of cassis, espresso bean, cola and charred meat, with waves of purple-flower flavors that won't stop. Drink now through 2037. Matt Kettmann

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
