A blend of 98% Cabernet Sauvignon & 2% Cabernet Franc, aged 22 Months in 75% New French Oak, grapes dominated by concentrated mountain fruit (Atlas Peak) but sourced from all over Napa. Deep Ruby, medium+ aroma intensity of berry fruits, sweet and pungent spice. On the palate flavors of strawberry, currants and black plum fruit, black pepper, cacao and vanilla spice with slight citrus notes. Chewy structured firm tannins, good integration with lively acidity, great mouthfeel, a big wine with a long finish ending with fruit and fragrant spice. Tasting Sample!

Surprisingly well integrated for a 13. Dry, powdery, firm tannins, dark currants, blackberries, black raspberries, dark plum, olallieberries, skin, coffee, dry, tuff leather, showing strong woodiness, dry crushed rocks, anise, red & dark florals. Hold another 7-10 plus years.

The owners son drew the label when he was 18 months old.

3-hour decant. Aromas of espresso beans, violets and graphite. Blackberry and black cherry on the palate. Nice balance between fruit, acidity and tannin.
