93pts Tasting Panel

A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot, and 5% Petit Sirah, aged for 14 months in 50% new French oak barrels... it features beautifully ripened fruit notes akin to blackberries, black cherries, and ripe plums. Very skillfully made.

92pts James Suckling

A generous texture and luscious dark-chocolate flavors give this full-bodied wine a sense of weight and depth. Black cherries, creme de cassis, cocoa nibs and espresso on the palate are backed by fine, powdery tannins. Drink now or hold.

Winemaker Notes

Bursting with bright aromatics of cassis and crushed raspberry, they are balanced with an earthy hint of dried sage and clove. The wine offers an energetic play between acid and tannin on the front palate with notes of blackberry and violet with a touch of cocoa on the mid-palate. Fine-grained tannins follow throughout each sip leading to a long, rich, finish.
