Allen Meadows - Score: 93 (2017 Jan.)

A notably floral nose consists of ripe plum, spice and plenty of earth while being trimmed in all-but-invisible oak. There is good power and muscle to the generously proportioned and notably rich big-bodied flavors that culminate in a robust finish that offers fine depth and length. This is not as concentrated as the best here but it's clear that the vineyard work continues to push the quality level forward each year.
