Big and bold, expressive aromas burst out of the glass with each swirl, offering seductive notes of ripe blackberry, blueberry and cassis. Lush and complex on entry, there is a symphony of ripe black fruit and a hint of sweet vanilla. Even at this young age there are notes of chocolate and black licorice that suggest the world-class lineage of both Oakville and Rutherford sub-AVA’s. Packed with youthful spirit, this rich, concentrated Cabernet is a beautiful demonstration of a stellar Napa Valley vintage.
85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot
92 Points, Wine Enthusiast. Brimming in cedar, dried herb, and dill, this bold, full-bodied wine offers classic bursts of dust and red currant, both earthy and fruity in equal measure. Balanced in oak and tannin, it refreshes with persistent acidity that helps to contrast the richness and brawn
92 Points, James Suckling. Ripe blackberries, baked blueberries, dried thyme, lavender, mocha and sweet tobacco on the nose. Full-bodied, rich and flavorful with creamy tannins, fresh acidity and a plush finish. Fresh and linear at the finish. Drink now or hold.
90 Points, Wine Advocate. Hints of thyme accent cassis and black-cherry notes in this medium to the full-bodied effort. It’s silky and elegant, with decent length, and probably best consumed over the next six to eight years.
