Score 97/100 · James Suckling, Feb 2019

Dark cherries, black plums, mulberries, granite, olives, graphite and lead pencil. Full-bodied with chewy and very structured, velvety tannins that melt together on the center palate. A very complete wine that maintains a great sense of poise and finesse, while packing a real punch of concentration. Very long on the finish. Drink in 2025.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Iridium is made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 19 months in 66% new French oak. It has a deep garnet-purple color and reveals crème de cassis, Black Forest cake and bay leaves with hints of incense, baking spices, Sichuan pepper and underbrush plus a touch of wood smoke. Medium to full-bodied with a firm, chewy structure and plenty of earthy layers, it finishes on a mineral note. 3,950 cases produced.
