This wine delivers the epitome of complexity and depth. The combination of warm climate and alluvial and gravelly loam soil found on our estate is ideal for creating balanced wines of concentration and richness. Dark purple in the glass, this wine opens with aromas of indulgent, dark berry fruit with savory undertones and notes of toasted oak. The palate is full bodied with multi-layered flavors of black cherry, currant, tobacco and graphite.
Blend: 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, and 2% Petit Verdot
92 James Suckling This solidly built, brawny wine is full-bodied, ripe in flavor and moderately tannic. Toasted walnuts, roasted plums and tawny spices are braced by good, sandy tannins. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
90 Wine Enthusiast This Cabernet-dominated blend is intense but charming, with a creamy chocolate-covered-cherry aroma wafting from the glass. The palate is midweight and bright, with cherry, raspberry, cinnamon and cocoa-powder flavors coating the palate, leading to a grippy, tannic finish.
