The 2014 Cookie checks in as a blend of Syrah and Mourvèdre, from the Jada vineyard in Paso Robles and Bien Nacido in Santa Barbara County. Fermented with 100% whole clusters and raised in 50% new French oak for 18 months, its deep purple color is followed decadent notes of crème de cassis, vanilla bean, gamey meats, olive and hints of white chocolate. Straight up gorgeous on the palate, with a voluptuous, concentrated, seamless style. - Jeb Dunnuck
