Tasting notes
Ruby-red. Exotic oak scents of chocolate and woodsmoke overlay cassis, dark raspberry and tobacco on the nose. Fat, plush and sweet but not over the top, with strong berry, violet and licorice flavors complemented but not overwhelmed by spicy, chocolatey oak. Finishes with broad, fine-grained tannins and lingering berry-and-chocolate sweetness. A bit extreme but impressive nonetheless, showing the superripeness of the year while maintaining an element of reserve for all its opulence. This wine actually shows the least suave oak element of Sheridan Vineyard's strong set of current releases.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the 2015 Mystique is killer wine! Its deep ruby/purplish color is followed by notes of blackcurrants, white chocolate, wood smoke and tobacco. Deep, plush and opulent on the palate, with silky texture, drink this hedonistic, yet perfectly balanced beauty over the coming decade or so.
