Top Notes For
The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is gorgeous. Opulent and creamy, with superb persistence, the 2018 packs a serious punch. Inky dark fruit, mocha, spice, menthol and licorice all build in the glass. The 2018 is deep and opulent to the core, but more than that, it captures all the personality of this site in Eastern Oakville. Bright floral accents liven up the finish nicely. I would give the tannins a few years to soften. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2021)

Nov 20th, 2020Another great showing for 1995 Napa Valley Cab. Astounding, room-filling nose of cigar box and leather. On the palate, leaned a touch more to acidity than fruit, but showed well over two nights.
