Dark Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits, herbs and earthy spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry, raspberry and black currant with espresso, cacao, cedar and earthy spice notes. Well balanced, lively acidity, fine tannins long ending with fruit and toasty tobacco spice! Nice!

RICH. The word is RICH. Muscular Napa Valley Cab essence artfully weaving together fruit, oak, earth, tannin and acid, with an inviting nose, weighty mouthfeel and generous finish. Don’t often drink Napa Cabs these days because the QPR isn’t there, but this bottle doesn’t disappoint, despite the price. I’d buy it again. Enjoyed the 2018 vintage with NY steak and mashed potatoes.

Christmas present. Not too sweet or bitter. Crowd pleaser.

Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon (83%) with some additional Bordeaux varieties blended in. Intense dark aromas of black cherry/raspberry, chocolate “, violets and figs. Pallet is a nice combination of red/blue/black berry and plum fruit with hints of fresh herbs, exotic spices and vanilla. Smooth and silky tannins balanced by bright acidity. Long finish.

Always solid. Purple color and definitely young. Blackberries and vanilla with ample oak. Lovely texture and finish.
