Who doesn't love mountain fruit? Especially Malbec, Cab, and Syrah mountain fruit blends. Great color, nice nose of vanilla, cloves, some dark fruits, and excellent spice. Dark dark cherries, herbs, and fresh cut grass. Rich chocolate cake and blueberries are hanging out here too. Very smooth, very round. Not nearly as much of a Big and Bold Napa offering as I was expecting, it almost reminded of a Bordeaux. Slightly refined with nice complexity. Overall, a little stunner.

Enjoyed with Gruens. Strong Cabernet flavors, but softened by other grapes (in a good way).

2012-luscious bouquet, great legs, medium finish.

A touch more Malbec this vintage sets the stage for a classic mountain Cabernet led by aromas of wild mountain raspberry and Bing cherry. Malbec trends toward blue fruit, and nothing is quite so luscious as blueberries framed by hints of vanilla, cassis, creamy milk chocolate caramel and oak spice.
