75% Cabernet Sauvignon blended with 23% Merlot and 1% each Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
This cabernet is a deep red with purple hue; abundant with aromas of black currant and cherry, with hints of mocha, vanilla and floral. Rich and savory with plum and black cherry flavors and hints of dried fig, vanilla, and floral. On the palate this wine is smooth and viscous in the midpalate, full-bodied, and the tannin structure is firm but very polished.Â
94 pts Wine Enthusiast "Silky red fruit and plum dot the landscape of this powerfully soft and velvety wine. Blended with 23% Merlot and 1% each of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, it exudes classic structure, integrated oak and floral beauty, finishing on a fig note. Enjoy from 2028 - 2032."
92 pts James Suckling "Lots of purple fruit with raspberries and blackberries follow through to a medium to full body with chewy tannins and flavorful finish. Needs time to soften. Try after 2023."
91 pts Robert Parker Wine Advocate "A medium to deep garnet-purple color and notes of baked black cherries, stewed plums and black currant jelly plus touches of garrigue, black olives and Provence herbs. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers lovely poise and expression with plenty of crunchy black fruit and a grainy texture, finishing with a lively lift."
