Another in a succession of terrific vintages, the 2016 Coleraine is a blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, aged in 70% new French oak barrels. It's classic Bordeaux in style, outlining notes of tobacco, earth and cassis with cedar and baking spices. Of course, the fruit is more intense than in most Bordeaux wines, showing ample freshness to go along with richness and depth, while the medium to full-bodied palate is silky, framed by fine-grained tannins that give shape and length to the finish.
