The nose on this dark magenta wine has beautiful high notes of raspberry and mineral. The well-structured body is supple in the front, showing notes of cassis and earth throughout the palate. The long, textured finish is frames by strong tannins.
Drink now through 2038.

A deeply violet wine that overflows with raspberry, cassis and cocoa notes. It is textured with many layers showing flavors that range from all-spice to dark fruit. The finish is long and brimming with the bright acidity and supple tannins that are indicative of Red Mountain.
Enjoy this wine from now until 2044.

Very rich for DDO (because 2009) though the balance of fruit, acid and oak is still spot on. I normally enjoy Laurene at 20+ years, but this is likely peak because of the vintage. Boysenberry and ripe strawberry, dried herb, a little wet stone. Super delicious.
