Dark ruby at its core, the 2018 Uriah starts firm and dusty in the glass with a rocky essence and elements of blackberry skin, black plum and hints of oak and spice before notions of baked earth sway on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, the wine offers a firm tannic edge that will loosen with time in the bottle. It offers succulent flavors of dark red cherry and spiced plum and a delicate mineral tension. The wine concludes with a firm, mineral-laced finish and will remain food-friendly until its 15th birthday.

A blend of 60% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the 2017 Uriah has a dark ruby core with a lighter ruby edge and offers aromas of dusty cherry skin, black plum, crème de cassis and hints of dusty leather. Medium to full-bodied, sensations of juicy plum compote, blackberry skin and bitter dark chocolate sway across the palate with elements of cedar and dried tobacco before showing dusty, fine-grained tannins that linger onto the finish.

The tight core is well-balanced, with a seamless expression of soft, dusty cherry skin and black plum essence that lingers long on the finish.

A wine with plenty of upside, the 2014 Uriah checks in as a blend of 56% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot and the rest Malbec. Loads of currants, plums. chocolate, and leafy herbs emerge from the glass, and this beauty is medium+ bodied, nicely textured and has integrated acidity. It drops offer faster on the finish than I'd like, but it seems young and slightly unevolved, so give it a year of bottle age.
