The 2018 Hosanna is composed of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose needs a bit of swirling and coaxing before it soars from the glass with compelling blue and black fruit scents of blueberry pie, blackberry preserves and stewed plums, plus hints of spice cake, unsmoked cigars and violets with a touch of cloves. The full-bodied palate shimmers with opulence, laden with black fruit preserves layers, supported by seductively plush tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and oh-so-spicy. It is very tempting to drink now, but 3-5 years of patience will offer a little cerebral tertiary contribution to all that decadent fruit. It should easily cellar for 25 years thereafter.

這款酒的張力與集中度非常令人印象深刻，其新鮮度與直接感能真正使人振奮。酒體中等至飽滿，單寧耐嚼且圓潤(rùn)，回味爽脆。

這款酒散發(fā)出強(qiáng)烈的煙草和泥土氣息，富含黑醋栗、無(wú)花果和苦櫻桃的風(fēng)味，從始至終顯示出力量感，風(fēng)味濃郁，適宜久藏。

桶邊試飲。這款酒結(jié)構(gòu)精細(xì)，單寧豐富且十分平衡，來(lái)自梅洛（Merlot）的濃郁黑色水果風(fēng)味與酒款稠密的結(jié)構(gòu)還需進(jìn)一步融合，但所需的元素都已蘊(yùn)含在這款集中的葡萄酒中。
