RATINGS

97Vinous / IWC

...dark, dense and enveloping, with real sense of richness and gravitas. Inky dark fruit, scorched earth, cedar, tobacco, licorice, menthol and incense all build in a potent, sumptuous Cabernet Sauvignon that balances fruit intensity with structure.

95Jeb Dunnuck

...notes of crème de cassis, leafy tobacco, violets, white flowers, and graphite, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, beautiful purity of fruit, silky tannins, and a great finish.

94James Suckling

...blackberries, black chocolate and some mushrooms. Medium to full body. Powdery texture. Flavorful finish.

90The Wine Advocate

...nose offers hints of blue fruits and a blackcurrant core with touches of roasted coffee, chocolate, violets and dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied, restrained and mineral driven, with a firm, grainy frame and good freshness, finishing minerally.

REGION

United States, California, Sonoma County

Sonoma County is not an AVA, but it is a commonly used informal designation for wines made outside of more specific AVAs within Sonoma, which is a large wine producing region just west of Napa Valley. Though Sonoma is often overshadowed by its glamorous neighbor Napa Valley, it has a long history of wine production. The area specialized in jug wine until the mid-20th century, when Sonoma producers took a cue from Napa and started improving quality. Unlike Napa, where Cabernet Sauvignon is king, Sonoma specialized in Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Zinfandel, though excellent Cabs are produced too. There are at present 16 AVAs within Sonoma County, and, like much of the West Coast of the United States, new AVAs are created in Sonoma County with regularity. Some Sonoma appellations, such as the Russian River Valley, are renowned for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
