Like Tuscany meets Bordeaux! Damp earth and stewed fruit abound. Complex & brooding.

Black plums, candied fruit and potpourri with some serious smoke and meaty notes. Lots of dark fruit and soil on palate. Evolving nicely

A very big and chewy wine with dark spice earth and mocha notes to compliment the dark currant dark cherry fruit very complex bouquet of aromas up at around 100 foot elevation planted to volcanic ash this vineyard planted in 1997. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and single vineyard thus is also made by Pierre Seillan. A big and chewy wine on the tongue with lots of tannins on the finish but very balanced and a long Layered finish lots of dark earth and spice through the finish. Finish. 50+ most excellent

My wife is a Davis trained enologist and manages a wine department. After 1 sip she said this is really nice. Full bodied cab nose, well balanced.
