Natalie's Score: 92/100
This French oak–aged (15 months) Bordeaux-style quartet of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Merlot unfurls a lavish bouquet of mixed-berry cobbler—think juicy blackberry, tart currant and a dusting of brown sugar—woven with mocha spice and a waft of smokiness. The palate is plush and broad-shouldered yet surprisingly supple, delivering waves of dark fruit, espresso bean and a savory, smoldering finish that lingers with a whisper of toasted oak. Perfect alongside char-grilled ribeye with chimichurri, sticky BBQ pork ribs or a smoked brisket sandwich with melty sharp cheddar.

Food pairings: grilled smoky ribs, meat lover's pizza, grilled steak.
