man o' war's 2008 dreadnought put the winery on the map, and, although not quite as dramatic, the 2009 is a worthy successor. aromas are lifted, peppery and cherry-filled, while the flavor nuances include smoke and pepper-cured meats. the wine is medium bodied and is marked by silky tannins and crisp acids. drink now–2018.
