The 2016 Beast is an absolute gem and will easily stack up to the multiple previously rated 100 point wines from this amazing production. At first glance, The Beast is supremely opaque in color and shines in the glass. The nose is bountiful, exuding beautiful aromatics of black currants, boysenberry pie, graphite, cinnamon bark, shaved baking chocolate and a hint of dark roast espresso. The palate is even more exciting and harmoniously balanced. The flavors are explosive with layers of black raspberry, blueberry puree', chocolate mocha, fresh cedar with a butterscotch finish. This legendary wine showcases an incredibly rich and rounded mouthfeel with perfectly integrated tannin's and a velvet finish. Enjoy now for the next 15-20 years!
