The 2018 Hosanna is composed of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose needs a bit of swirling and coaxing before it soars from the glass with compelling blue and black fruit scents of blueberry pie, blackberry preserves and stewed plums, plus hints of spice cake, unsmoked cigars and violets with a touch of cloves. The full-bodied palate shimmers with opulence, laden with black fruit preserves layers, supported by seductively plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and oh-so-spicy. It is very tempting to drink now, but 3-5 years of patience will offer a little cerebral tertiary contribution to all that decadent fruit. It should easily cellar for 25 years thereafter.

這款酒的張力與集中度非常令人印象深刻，其新鮮度與直接感能真正使人振奮。酒體中等至飽滿，單寧耐嚼且圓潤，回味爽脆。

這款酒散發(fā)出強烈的煙草和泥土氣息，富含黑醋栗、無花果和苦櫻桃的風味，從始至終顯示出力量感，風味濃郁，適宜久藏。

桶邊試飲。這款酒結(jié)構(gòu)精細，單寧豐富且十分平衡，來自梅洛（Merlot）的濃郁黑色水果風味與酒款稠密的結(jié)構(gòu)還需進一步融合，但所需的元素都已蘊含在這款集中的葡萄酒中。
