Very enjoyable chenin from old vines on Pritchard Hill. Good stuff but could use a little more snap and verve. — 22 days ago

Cork was a little damaged… it wasn’t ruined but it didn’t taste like the last bottle I had. Still big dry and earthy but lacking a little something. — 3 months ago

9.0

Bordeaux-Style Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (68%), Merlot (28%), Petite Verdot (2%) and Cabernet Franc (2%). Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Brilliant nose of plush red fruit, graphite and high quality oak. Bold red and black fruit flavors with hints of earth, cocoa, dried herbs and spices. Very long and Smokey finish. Bold, complex and concentrated. Tannins are very smooth. Nice choice, Kasey! — a month ago
