Similarly styled, yet more complex and evolved, the 2010 The Evil Twin checks in as a blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, also all from Red Mountain. Aged in 100% new French oak, it boasts knockout aromatics of blackberry liqueur, cedar, toasted spice and licorice as well as a full-bodied, mouth-filling and decadently textured palate. Still possessing some tannin to integrate, it should evolve positively for 3-4 years and drink well for over a decade. Drink now-2018.
These full throttle wines are made by Chris Gorman and focus primarily on Red Mountain fruit. They’re unabashedly full-bodied and ripe, and while not for the anti-alcohol crowd, deliver serious amounts of fruit and texture while staying fresh and very drinkable.
