Deep Ruby with aromas of rich berry fruit, floral and complex spice, blend of 84% Cab Sauvignon, 13% Merlot & 3% Petite Verdot. On the palate flavors of blackberry and blueberry with floral spice, vanilla, integrated toasty oak and earthy cinnamon. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice, vanilla oak and earthy notes, good now and will still get better, small production! A nice char broiled fillet mignon will go well.

Spot-on Napa Cab with 80%+ Cab Sauv. Supple blackberry, blueberry, tobacco smoke, mountain rocks and firm tannin. Well done

Tasting wonderful- full with a strong but well integrated presence of oak. Needs a few years. Black plum, baked strawberry, mineral. Very good wine.

Elegant. Meant to age. ‘16 is still too young.

All the lovely things 2011 has to offer: savory, herbaceous flavors and smells. Intriguing green/black olive quality, smooth and lithe texture. Cab Franc character with CA heft.
