Had these at lunch yesterday with a couple of buds. The Arrowood was deep ruby. Black fruits, spice, roasted meat, and vanilla dominate and all come over on the palate along with some cassis. Solid entry, chunky center, and a 4 lapper finish. 90/90. 45 by the box. 13.5%aalc. The Silverado was medium ruby with a tinge of orange on the rim. Brite cherry, vanilla, spice aand some currant hit the nose. All come to the palate with some earth. Good entry, soliod center and a 4 lapper finish also. 90/87. 59 by the box. 13.4%alc. WW
