"The 2017 Sawbones checks in as 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Syrah, and 14% Petit Verdot that spent 18 months in 54% new French oak. Its deep purple color is followed by stunning notes of blackcurrants, cassis, lead pencil shavings, chocolate, and crushed rocks. Pure, full-bodied, loaded with sweet fruit, and beautifully balanced, it's one hedonistic yet elegant beauty from this team that knocks it out of the park.”

"Full ruby. Ripe cherry and dark berry aromas, along with hints of licorice, cured tobacco and vanilla. Sweet and broad in the mouth, offering sappy blueberry and cherry-vanilla flavors that pick up a spicy nuance with aeration. Closes spicy and impressively long, with a lingering bitter chocolate quality and even tannins that come up slowly.”
