Tasting notes
Vivid purple. Potent, smoke-accented aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, licorice and allspice, with a sexy vanilla quality emerging slowly. Sweet, broad and sappy on the palate, offering concentrated blackberry and cherry-cola flavors and a repeating smoky note. The clinging finish is framed by smooth, late-arriving tannins.

The inaugural vintage for the cuvee, the 2013 Fulldraw is made from 48% Syrah, 35% Grenache and 17% Mourvedre that saw roughly 40% new French oak. Coming from the younger vines on the estate, it's a rock-star effort that exhibits lots of black and blue fruits, violets, pepper and saline like minerality on both the nose and palate. Rich, full-bodied, textured and ready to go, drink this beauty over the coming 5-7 years.
