It’s not clear to me how Jake Bilbro manages to make such seamless, integrated wines at 15% alcohol. Deep red fruit, leather, meat and a bright cherry accent on the finish (the touch of Grenache speaking?), this is much too easy to drink. There’s sneaky structure, but I am not sure I can keep my hands off of this to let it develop.
