...aromas of blueberries, mulberries, and graphite/lead pencil shavings, a full-bodied mouthfeel, a rich, concentrated, layered texture and moderate tannin in the finish.

A rich, powerful expression of Cabernet, intense, focused, deep and layered, exhibiting dark berry, espresso, cedar and black licorice flavors...

93+ Vinous / IWC

...rich, layered and seamless...implosive, rich and intense. Firm tannins frame the fruit on the powerful, incisive finish.

Located in the city of St. Helena, the 25-acre vineyard is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
