This wine echoes past vintages of mineral black-fruit, toasty French oak, cassis and smoke characters. The aromas and flavors are very fruit forward, and the wine has a sweet entry turning to plush layers of cedar, tobacco, smoke and dark chocolate. A long and complex finish follows. Upon further airing, the wine becomes even more velvety-chocolate in nature.
93 points, Wine Spectator (October 31, 2009): “Deep, rich and concentrated, with loamy earth, currant, dried berry, leather, peppery tobacco and sage flavors...Impressive for its depth, focus and complexity, with plenty of backbone for the cellar…”
92 points, Connoisseurs’ Guide (December 2009): “…deep and well-filled with the solidity and focus that is the winery hallmark…”
Just 650 cases were made. Properly stored, this wine can be cellared for many years to come.
Roast beef, tri-tip, sirloin and pork tenderloin will pair beautifully with this hand-crafted Cabernet.
This wine was recently featured in The California Wine Club's wine of the month club.
