93pts Wine Enthusiast

Potent, pure blackberries and black currants fill this full-bodied wine with luscious fruitiness from the first sniff through the palate impression and lingering finish. Dark chocolate, spearmint and light oak char blend nicely into the fruit flavors. Best from 2025. 

91pts Wine Spectator

Juicy and ripe, with succulent dark plum and blackberry fruit laced with sweet toast and carried through the finish by a dark licorice note. A solid example of the forthright style. Drink now through 2032. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 3,812 cases made.

Tasting Notes

The classic Napa Valley varietal character is the star in this Cabernet Sauvignon, with the tannins and texture supporting the smooth fruit flavors. The wine’s balance and freshness make this a particularly food-friendly red wine.

Suggested pairings: grilled rack of lamb with fresh herbs, ribeye steak with sautéed mushrooms and braised short ribs.

Winemaker Notes

Our winemaker seeks to showcase the freshness and classic varietal character of the
highest-quality Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignons. Every aspect of the winemaking process is intentionally designed to ensure the wine’s structure supports and enhances the varietal character, resulting in a wine that overdelivers on quality and shows beautiful integration upon release. 

Every step of the winemaking process is designed to heighten the varietal and vineyard expression, complex aromas and flavors, tension and depth of our Cabernet Sauvignon. Each lot is chilled, sorted by cluster and then by berry via our optical sorting system.
