The 2018 Winemaker’s Cuvee is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend from vineyards in Alexander Valley. Crushed flowers, cedar, mint, tobacco and earthy accents run through a core of raspberry and blood orange fruit. Bright acids and a spine of tannin lend vibrancy as the 2018 opens in the glass. Time brings out the aromatics nicely. Drink this classy, understated red blend over the next decade or so. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, July 2021)

Deep Ruby with complex aromas of dark fruit aromas and subtle spices. On the palate ripe blackberry and cherry flavors with notes of espresso, cacao and vanilla. Elegant soft tannins with toasty oak and balanced acidity drinking well now on a long finish ending with fruit and oaky character.

Body: Full
Acidity: Medium
Tannin: High
Typicity: High
Flavors of chocolate, mint, charred wood, blackberry jam, clove, cinnamon, and leather. Delicious wine that could stand a few more years of aging to soften the considerable tannin and texture. But definitely drinkable now, it evolves in the glass a great deal! I would definitely buy again.
