Complex aromas and flavors of dried herbs, tobacco and cedar with some smoke. It’s full-bodied with round, creamy tannins and a savory finish. Rich and intense. This needs another three or four years to soften, but already plush and pretty for a young wine.

This is savory on the nose with black olive and bay leaf notes, which mix with baked black plum and fig flavors on the creamy palate. Delivers dense, firming and well-knit tannins, with a rich streak of smoky charcoal chiming in on the finish. Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2027. 1,000 cases made, 250 cases imported.

Bursting from the glass, the 2016 Anwilka has elegant oak tones that play with a juicy fruit structure. Dark cherry, blackberry and plums all dance with mocha tones and oak spices that integrate seamlessly together. The wine is full-bodied on the palate, with a ripe attack of bold, concentrated fruit and a balanced structure with grippy tannins that hang on the gumline, leaving flavors of bitter dark chocolate and coffee bean. Ending with a long, drawn-out finish, it continues to evolve on the palate long after the wine has left the mouth. This is a serious wine for collectors.
