Blend of 84% Cab Sauv, 10% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec and 3% Cab Franc sourced from estate-owned vineyards, aged 24 months in 100% new French oak. Deep Ruby, dark fruits, spice, complex nose. On the palate flavors of rich berry fruits, spice and vanilla oak, well structured harmonious wine. Fine soft rich tannins, long finish ending with fruit, tobacco and sweet earthy tones. Tasting great, young and juicy, should easily last another couple of decades+ in the bottle. Wow! — 2 years ago

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa. Still very young, but already enjoyable even by itself.
Fruit forward and dry on the palate, with medium acidity and nice complexity. Rich and extracted.
Long finish with round tannins.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after a few hours in the decanter.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.
Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine. Would pair beautifully with a nice piece of steak.

Wine dinner with big group including Butch neighbor Art, Philip and Bewan. Vertical of 2013,1989,1984 and Reserve 1996. ‘13 still young and long aging potential. ‘84 stood out amongst three, ‘89 clearly lesser vintage and heading down. Reserve tastes like a young wine and can feel the tannin. Very interesting growing. — 4 months ago
Excellent, low-acidity although with a slight peppery taste. Left a light but pleasant tone on the tongue and pallet. I thoroughly enjoy Cotes de Rhône reds and will add this to my favorites. — 2 years ago
