Tasting notes
The 2019 The Big Game is a blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Syrah, 5% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot. It has slowly unfurling scents of cassis, garrigue, pencil shavings, violet and bay leaves with meaty undertones. The full-bodied palate is concentrated but youthfully coiled at this stage. It has a frame of grainy tannins and vibrant acidity that calls you back to the glass for another sip. 201 cases were made.

Darker, almost blue fruits, peppery herbs, graphite, and hints of cedar all emerge from the 2019 The Big Game, a medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, juicy red based on 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Syrah, and 5% each Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot. It's enjoyable today yet has the balance and freshness, as well as the concentration, to evolve nicely for well over a decade.
The 2019 The Big Game is savory and herbal in the best possible way, launching from the glass with musky black currants, charred wood and crushed stone. It floods the palate with silken textural waves of mineral-laced red and black fruits, gaining energy through a core of zesty acidity. Structured? Yes, but its tannins are round, sweet and lifted by a final note of citrus-tinged blackberries. The Big Game is a seriously fun blend of 67% Cabernet, 23% Syrah, 5% Malbec and 5% Petit Verdot.
