2017 Big Pour ~ Miranda Franco, WineReviewOnline / 93 Points

Kelly Fleming earned the nickname "Big Pour" while visiting Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (one of Burgundy's most storied Pinot Noir producers).  Her host kept giving her larger pours over her male colleagues, which caused one of them to say, "I want to be next to Big Pour over there!"  The 2017 Big Pour, a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah, and 3% Malbec, shows an expressive nose generous with layers of cherries, plums, violets, and an anchoring hint of espresso.  Impressively polished and integrated with subtle tannins that carry the fruit and floral notes from the mid-palate to the persistent finish.  It's enjoyable now with plenty of time left to go.
