100% Cabernet Sauvignon for the first time, this wine represents the diversity of napa a plush style, 2012 claret us a blend that represents a British style of lighter and more drinkable this is the press juice and younger vines a bit more red fruit as napa is a bit more black fruit the claret has a bit of Syrah and a total of five varietals the claret is a nice pizza and pasta wine. The claret is lighter in style

We had the 2010 Vintage on 5/22/22. Full bodied and fruit forward. But sadly, I think this wine is on the decline. I am this glad I opened it today. Plum, blackberry, oak and cassis on the bouquet and palate. Well balanced.

Very dark purple on eye. Spicy blackberries, gravel. Medium+ dryness. Will hopefully develop more over years to come.
