Blackberry, cassis, black cherry, licorice, eucalyptus, oak and hints of mocha. Great structure and moderate tannins.

Extremely impressive and opulent wine - the wine is extremely thick and almost glows with this neon purple hue. On the nose, there is plenty of creamy oak, but the wine maker has preserved some of the stress and menthol notes coming off the high altitude. The mouthfeel is as full bodied as anything, with not detectable heat. Good amounts of layered fruit and a slight touch of minerality moves into HUGE, scructured and long tannins. This wine is single vineyard and impressive. I would argue that it is better than anything Camus, Silver Oak or any of the other big name Napa guys do for the price.

Classic Napa mountain red, juicy and bright but bold, super-smooth finish

Had this at The Generous Pour event, and this was the star! Was perfect with filet mignon.
