| | Qty=1Size=1.5L, RP[97+]"The first release of this co-fermented, extended aging cuvée that collects the most spice-driven, tannic blocks of James Berry Vineyard and Heart Stone, the 2019 Somnus is impressive in its ability to deliver monstrous size and refined intrigue in nearly equal proportions. Composed of 33% Petite Sirah, 32% Syrah, 16% Graciano, 10% Tourginal Nacional and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, it was aged a full 44 months in 87% new 225-liter barrels. The nose is seemingly endless in its dense opacity, showing off a plethora of sumptuous, dark fruit, black pepper and exotic spice aromas that continuously elevate and morph in the glass. The palate continues this lavish profile with a rich, extracted yet muscular texture that provides welcome vibrancy against the immense concentration of the palate. The finish is explosive and multidimensional and impressively continues to gain layer after layer of dark-fruited, chocolate-laden nuance with time in the glass." - Matthew Luczy, robertparker.com (Jun 27, 2024) |
