This wine evokes an image of a fireplace, a pipe, a good book and a well-worn sweater. Aromas of tobacco, dried herbs, cedar and plums macerating in spices lift from the glass. Balanced between herbal and dark fruit aromas with a gentle tannic profile that gives strucutre without heft. Drink now–2035. Jeff Porter

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.
