Brooding and deeply toned, this Cabernet Sauvignon carries flavors of cedar, cracked pine, dried tobacco and graphite on a backdrop of black plum and currant. Lengthy, palatecoating tannins and balanced acidity create a satisfying wine.

93pts Wine Spectator

A dark, winey style, with steeped blackberry and black currant fruit melded with licorice snap and sweet tobacco accents. A leathery tug of warm humus through the finish adds to the muscular feel. Best from 2026 through 2038. 3,000 cases made.

91pts James Suckling

Dark fruit, some leather already and a hint of herbal liqueur. Tobacco and sweet blackcurrant fruit, too. Full-bodied with chewy tannins, lots of plum character and a fruit-forward finish.

Winemaker Notes

This Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon combines generous fruit-forwardness with a structured and polished mouthfeel. The wine opens with enticing aromas of ripe dark fruit, cedar and spice. On the palate, black cherry and plum mingle with lingering notes of sage and licorice. Full-bodied and well-rounded, this Cabernet Sauvignon boasts beautiful acidity, fine tannins and a long finish.

Aromas of black cherry and vanilla with flavors of mocha. The finish is velvety smooth.
