Red and black currants, blueberries, green tobacco, cedarwood, and new saddle leather notes emerge from the 2018 Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon / The Creator Powerline Vineyard, a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Syrah. Almost opaque and ruby/purple-hued, it’s medium to full-bodied and has a layered, elegant texture, sweet tannins, and a great finish. A wine that builds nicely with time in the glass, picking up more density and length, it has the fruit and balance to offer pleasure today yet the concentration and structure to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for 15-20 years, if you’re so inclined.

Currant, spice and some sweet-tobacco aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied, yet very polished and energetic. Chewy, fine-textured tannins and a flavorful finish. Polished. 75% cabernet sauvignon and 25% syrah.
A majestic Cabernet-led wine. Black currant, black olive, tobacco leaf, No. 2 Pencil lead, terrific structure, classic in presence, cedar cigar box and damp earth. ALL HAIL THE CREATOR. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Syrah
