Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Red Blend TD-9 is blended of 58 Merlot, 26 Cabernet Sauvignon and 16 Malbec. It has a very deep purple-black color and displays ready-for-biz, fragrant scents of warm plums, Black Forest cake and blueberry compote with touches of baking spices, bay leaves and potpourri. Full-bodied with a serious, firm frame of ripe, grainy tannins, the palate delivery loads of black fruit and spicy layers with bags of vivacity and panache.
Jeb Dunnuck
Leading off the reds, the 2016 TD-9 checks in as 58 Merlot, 26 Cabernet Sauvignon, and 16 Malbec and is a cuvée first made in 2015. Revealing considerable elegance and purity as well as medium to full-bodied richness, it offers up a terrific bouquet of black cherry and blackberry fruits, tobacco, lavender, and an alluring forest floor character. It’s already drinking beautifully yet will keep for upwards of a decade.
Wine Enthusiast
The winery's proprietary blend of 58 Merlot, 26 Cabernet Sauvignon and 16 Malbec is hugely impressive and memorable, with a smoky, toasted oak character. Plush flavors of blackberry and cherry jam meld with spice on the rich, round midpalate. It offers plenty of grip and concentration, finishing on a handful of dried herb.
