RATINGS

92Robert M. Parker Jr.

Lots of creme de cassis, vanilla and spice box aromas jump from the glass of this rich, full-bodied, pure, textured 2010.

91James Suckling

A juicy red with dried fruits, spices and light prune character. Hints of toasted oak. Full body, soft tannins and a fruity finish.

91Wine Enthusiast

Blackberry and cherry pie, chocolate, anise and caramelized oak flavors...

90Wine Spectator

Firmly tannic and full-bodied, with a broad-shouldered mix of loamy earth, crushed rock, cedar, graphite and dark berry, shaded by hints of olive and herb. The tannins give the flavors traction.

PRODUCER

Delectus

Delectus is owned by Linda and Gerhard Reisacher, who began making wines in 1995 from sourced grapes in the Napa Valley. Linda had worked in the wine industry as a glass supplier and Gerhard, who grew up in Austria, is an eighth- generation winemaker. In Napa he worked for Monticello, Far Niente, Pine Ridge and Clos du Val before starting his own winery. In 2005 the couple bought 112 acres overlooking Knights Valley. Some 40 acres were planted. Delectus produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc, Merlot, Syrah, Petite Sirah, and several blends.

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.
