Lives up to the hype. Luscious, great amount of age. Chocolate, mint, salt cured black olive, herbs.

A fitting end to owning a winery as 2010 was the year we officially took over the winery. Tight, a touch of Brett but very pretty. Red fruit earthy spice and intrigue. Not a 100 pointer, but certainly a rocking wine.

Silky, perfumed cab blend. Absolutely delicious. Seamless and Bordeaux like but without a hard edge to be found. Tons of red cherry, cola, fruitcake and graphite. It could not be more round and well balanced. Haven't had a bottle of opus I really liked in some time but this is different for sure.

Dark fruit, plum and black cassis. Silky soft tannins for being a young 2010. Very approachable. A great example!
