(Wine Advocate Score 92) To my mind the star of the Man O War lineup, the 2015 Dreadnought boasts the knockout aromas of violets and cracked pepper that have characterized nearly every vintage of this compelling wine. It's full-bodied without being weighty, with resiny notes of thyme and rosemary lending additional complexity to the dark berry and roasted-meat flavors. Softly dusty tannins linger on the finish, suggesting at least 5-6 years of additional longevity, probably more.
