Bright, inky and youthful in appearance. The nose is vibrant with a balance of concentrated dark fruit and savoury aromas. Full bodied, well toasted and sophisticated, the palate follows through with a bold and complex tannin structure. The wine concludes with long textured and powerful finish. An age worthy wine that will delight now and for years to come.

Riding the line between the New World and Old World expressions, the 2017 Anwilka begins with aromas of dusty blackberry, ripe plum, cedar and cigar spice before notions of graphite, sage and wet river rocks waft from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, it has a ripe yet rustic mouthfeel, energetic acidity and fine-grained tannins that lift the mid-palate. As the wine sits in the mouth, it continues to somersault and reveal its elegance and complexity over the persistent and elongated finish. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Verdot rested for 19 months in French oak, of which 50% were first fill. It's drinking great now, but just give it one more year in the bottle and drink through the middle of the next decade.
