"Similarly inky colored, the 2018 Sawbones offers a more dense, concentrated style compared to the more sunny, sexy 2017. Cassis, crushed violets, graphite, and a touch of rocky minerality all emerge from the glass, and it has bright acidity, sweet fruit, and a great finish. This blockbuster in the making is based on 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Syrah, 8% Petit Verdot, and 3% Graciano, all aging in 95% new French oak."
