2015 Jada "Saw Bones" Willow Creek District Red Blend

Sporting a glass staining purple color (it's reminiscent of a barrel sample), the 2015 Sawbones (a 50/50 split of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah) gives up notes of charred earth, licorice, charred oak and vibrant black raspberry fruit. Despite the big, masculine nose, it hits the palate with a seamless, silky texture and has incredibly polish to its tannin, all suggesting it's going to evolve gracefully.
