This is a very nice oaky Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley.

Dry on the palate and very fruity. Big and smooth. Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing blackberries, black cherries, sweet strawberries, cedar, vanilla, leather, spices, earth, chocolates, tobacco, peppercorn, coffee and mocha.

Delicious and good by itself or with food. Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.

This 7 year old from the great 2014 vintage will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, Malbec and Petit Verdot.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

93 points.

$70.

Nice structure to this. This was better than the last bottle that I had. Good dark fruit and oak not too dominant.

Jury is currently out, not impressed with pricy offering.
Deep ruby with aromas of blue and black fruits. On the palate blackberry and blueberry flavors, good balanced full body, firm dusty tannins and about medium length finish ending with mineral tones. Ok, but lacks complexity. Tasting Sample.

Delicious! Concentrated and balanced. The acid balances the fruit very well.

Oh what a year makes. Totally different mouthfeel to the 2011. Luscious, fruit forward with round tannins and plenty of stuffing in mid palate and finish.

Linear and a bit thin. Fruit was somewhat tannic and hollow in mid palate.
