The 2010 The Bully is another outstanding wine from this estate that’s worth checking out. A blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot that spent 22 months in all new French oak, it offers beautiful cassis, lead pencil shavings, wild herbs, tobacco leaf and distinct minerality to go with a medium to full-bodied, lively, fresh and balanced profile on the palate that builds with time in the glass. Showing impressive length, as well as the richness that’s the hallmark of this estate, this serious 2011 will drink well through 2026. Winemaker Chris Gorman continues to fashion rock star, full-throttle wines that stay balanced and drinkable. Also, don’t miss his Collaboration Series release at Force Majeure. Tel.
