Wine Spectator 93 points

Supple, generous and round, offering a silky mouthful of currant, blackberry, cola and spice flavors that balance deftly and linger effortlessly. Graceful and appealing, this can also last in the cellar. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2018.—H.S.

A red blend that is 50% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Franc and 17% Cabernet Sauvignon. Flavors include black cherries and blackberries with a hint of tobacco and green olives. This wine will cellar for up to 10 years.

Trey's most spectacular magic act. It's a super-premium Bordeaux blend made from old vine fruit from Champoux, Klipsun, and Bacchus Vineyards. Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot are included in the blend.

Archimage is quite aromatic, showing big scents of black cherry, ripe black plum, Idian spices, cedar, and toast. The texture of the wine in the mouth is very silky and the tannins gently caress. The wine expands in the mouth, as flavors of ripe black fruit, dense hints of dark fruit liqueur, toasted espresso bean, and spice intermingle. The finish goes on and on.
