Soaring aromatics. Lovely notes of kirsch, maple and coffee on the palette. For the flagship wine in a stellar vintage, we expected much more. Venge and Beau Vigne have this licked.

Beautifully balanced Cab from a great year. Delicious bouquet of earth and currants with a long finish. Enjoyed at lunch on a blustery rainy day as hurricane erna passed off to the east

Really impressed. Mom had bought these as futures and held on to them for several years. It was worth the wait.
