Best ever for the Wine Enthusiast at $45:
This wine is deep, lively, with aromas of mulberry, dark plum, citrus peel, star anise, and notes of violets on the nose. The flavors on the palate are blackberry, cassis, grapefruit peel, vanilla cream, bittersweet chocolate, cinnamon, and a long spiced finish. Decant and Enjoy.
Sullivan says:
A Bordeaux-inspired blend of power and elegance — dark cherry, cedar, volcanic minerality, and structured tannins built for aging. Approachable now with decades of development ahead.
For many years, the best mountain fruit from the Red Hills like this was blended into far more expensive and prestigious Napa Cabernets (where 15% is allowed). It took top Napa winemakers like Sullivan and Melka to recognize just how spectacular these wines could be on their own.
