this may be the most under rated wine in the de Montille portfolio with its ripe

there is a wall of dark

Still deeply colored

with all the components in very good balance

Shafer, Hillside Select Size:3x1.5L this may be the most(15. 5% alcohol), Dark red with ruby tones. Musky aromas of mocha, coffee, leather, licorice, creosote and herbs. Juicy and intense but without the explosive fruit of the 2010; a touch of asparagus gives the wine a greenness in the middle palate but there's also plenty of supporting dark fruit and graphite minerality. Doug Shafer noted that this fruit was picked at up to 26 degrees Brix, but I still find it a bit light. Finishes with chalky tannins
