Richly textured, deeply spiced and super-expressive. A gorgeous, open-knit wine aromatically pure and nuanced, with generous, vivid red-fleshed fruit, absolutely gorgeous.

An absolute delight and a great choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Much more sensual and giving now, with some time in bottle from the last time I tasted it. Tasted during the Vinous Learn Oakville seminar 💥🤪😍.

Ripe, precise and focused. Black cherry, deep plummy richness with hints of mocha and tangy fruit. Still quite thick and dense but great material here.

This was drinking so well at a young age. Very expressive ripe red currants, black currants, hint of soil. Full bodied but not extracted.

Pleasing, well made Cab from challenging year. A little tightly wound at the moment. Should improve with a couple years.

2012 collina. A very quality Cabernet franc. I would be just as happy to have this as a maya.
