Of dizzying array of wines from this winery, The Dead Arm is top of the heap and is characteristically a big, broody beast of a wine that needs many years of bottle age before cracking open. The 2013, even at five-years-old, is no exception. Nearly inky-black in color, it ekes out notes of dark berries, dried oregano, roasted beets, furniture polish, dark chocolate and coffee grounds. Big leathery, savory tannins hit you full force on the palate and they're matched by equally sizable dark fruit and toasty mocha flavors. Give this wine more time to really shine. Drink 2020–2033.
