Refined and pure aromas of dark cherries, blackcurrants, violets and cedar. The palate is full-bodied with seamlessly integrated tannins and focused acidity, giving notes of Damson plums, graphite, mocha, dried herbs and potpourri. Very well balanced and polished. Drink or hold.
96 points, James Suckling (Dec 2024)
A blend of 92.3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1.7% Petite Sirah, and 1% Petit Verdot, this wine was aged for 17 months in French oak (65% new, 35% once-used). On the nose, mineral-saline notes and pretty herbal aromas shine seamlessly into a smooth and sweet entry with a bright, herbal Cabernet lift. The ripe tannins and fresh fruit flesh provide balance and structure, producing a dry, satisfying finish. The fruit is sourced from select vineyards in Rutherford, Calistoga, and St. Helena, resulting in a polished and harmonious blend that highlights the unique qualities of each site.
