From its fragrances of dark chocolate to its sweet oak flavors, this Xtant is a long sip of complex elegance. Just one glass won't do! 

93 Points, Anthony Dias Blue, "A gorgeous blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec. Rich, smooth and ripe with lovely plum and berry fruit; long, fresh and beautifully balanced. A new classic from Napa."

92 Points, Connoisseurs' Guide, "Abundant oak leads the way in the sweet and spicy aromas of this fairly rich and broadly fruity offering, but it is matched step for step by a long line of currants and cherries on the palate and is never allowed to become the wine's singular theme. While a solid and fully fleshed wine, this one also shows some winemaking polish, and we are quite comfortable in predicting that it will be richer and more refined yet if allowed even 3-5 years of additional age."

91 Points, Wine Enthusiast (10/15/06) "Elegant and stylish, with subdued, understated currant, anise, herb, sage and cedar flavors that unfold gracefully, with a smooth, palate-caressing texture and a long, persistent finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Malbec."
