Elegant and powerful Cabernet without the overpowering dark fruits. This wine holds together wonderfully and balances well with warm cherry notes and minimal sweetness. Excellent buy!

Ripe dark cherries, cassis, wild herbs and licorice. Great acidity to stand up to the gripping tannins and body.

Fruit still present amidst leather, tobacco, dried mint leaves, acid med + , tannins silky and med alcohol...color still a med purple, but not opaque...What a wine , built for the ages!

How gorgeous is this? Unbelievable structure. Made to go long term. Beautiful dusty nose reminiscent of the "Rutherford dust." Chalky, punishing tannins only adding to the ability for this to be aged. Eucalyptus and mint. A dirty chalky spiciness throughout. Some surprising racy acidity. This is the real deal for old world style Napa Cabernet.

Dark ruby in color with a short purplish rim.

Bold on the nose with vanilla, cherries, blackberries, black currants, licorice, mint, chocolates, smoke, black pepper, spices and leather.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and great legs.

Fruity and dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, chocolates, tobacco, oak, vanilla, licorice, cloves, spices and peppercorn.

Long finish with firm, angular tannins and black pepper.

A Great Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California. Great by itself or with BBQ meats. I paired it with lamb chops.

Elegant, balanced, complex and very enjoyable. Needs 2 hours to open up, and a few more years in the bottle, will do it justice.

14.8% alcohol by volume.

Fun wine and tasty for the price. Carmel and crushed berries on the nose. Tight and chewy with flavors of licorice, herbs with a slight grip from the tannis.

1/23 2014 vintage. This wine continues to impress with its balance of slightly sweet fruit and strength, high marks, 89
