Tasting notes
The 2015 Black Magic is another magical effort that has some resemblance to the 2013 with its majestic, skyscraper-like texture and palate presence. Possessing a huge perfume of crème de cassis, ripe plums, incense, and dried flowers, it shows the opulence and sweetness of fruit that’s the hallmark of the 2015 vintage, layers of fine tannins, and a monster of finish. It’s thrilling stuff.

A barrel selection, the 2015 Proprietary Red Black Magic is deep garnet-purple with a nose of violets, lavender and cedar chest with core of red and black cherries, cassis, wild blueberries and tilled soil with cigar and espresso hints. The palate has a lot of oak at this stage and is full-bodied, firm, grainy and generously fruited, finishing long. 150 cases produced.
Blackberries, black tea, dark oak and hints of cloves on the nose. Full body, firm and tannins and long, linear finish. A very tight and compressed palate. Needs two or three years to come together. Already so pretty.
