Allen Meadows - Score: 90-92 (2016 Jan.)

This is the first wine to display any appreciable amount of wood though it's not enough to prevent the purple fruited and floral-scented nose to be appreciated. Once again there is an opulent mouth feel to the generously proportioned flavors that coat the palate with dry extract that also serves to buffer the textured and ever-so-mildly austere finale.
