This 2003 Oakville estate bottling offers outstanding concentration with an exotic nose of charcoal, liquid minerals, an allspice-clove hybrid, Christmas spice and black raspberries. The palate is sweet and expansive, something of a south Oakville trademark these days. Clone 337 provides aromatic intensity and brighter red fruits with the clone 4 offering black fruits and backbone. The finish lingers with espresso roast, bittersweet chocolate, loamy earth, mint and toasty oak. 330 cases made.
