95pts James Suckling

Winemaker Notes

The nose is intense and powerful with black currant, raspberry and fresh strawberries along with hints of crushed rocks. The entry is juicy and layered complemented by cassis, red plum, with a leathery yet vibrant structure. This wine has lots of fruit with plush, integrated tannins that make this easy and approachable even at a young stage in its life. 

Recommended to decant to show off even more of its expressivity.

"A beautiful expression of Napa Valley Cabernet from vineyards that have continually produced great fruit for years.”~ Philippe and Cherie Melka, proprietors.
