". . . truly outstanding on both the nose and palate and showed a lot more potential longevity . . . . The nose on this lovely wine is decidedly old school in its mélange of red and black cherries, Rutherford dust, cigar wrapper, fresh herb tones, a touch of graphite and a lovely base of cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and completely à point, with an excellent core of fruit, a fine signature of soil, modest remaining tannins and superb length and grip on the complex and beautifully focused finish. Here there are no issues with uncovered wood tannins on the backend and this very fine wine still has plenty of life ahead of it. High class juice that my last note simply did not do justice!"

California's most prestigious wine region, celebrated worldwide for opulent, structured Cabernet Sauvignon. Diverse soils and mountain-to-valley-floor sites yield wines of remarkable ripeness, power and longevity.
A prestigious Napa sub-AVA on the valley floor, home to iconic estates and celebrated for richly textured, powerful Cabernet Sauvignon.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
