94 Points Tasting Panel
A luscious surge of boysenberry and café mocha creates a fabulous first impression for this wine, which is elegant in its approachability. Finely grained tannins offer firm structure as notes of coffee and licorice deepen its formidable character.
93 Points James Suckling
A medium-bodied red with black berries and blackcurrants with some chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. So delicious and velvety structured. Delicious finish. Drink or hold.
91 Points Wine Spectator
Lush and fruity, with a wave of plum puree and mulberry fruit cruising along, flanked by apple wood and licorice. Reveals subtle sweet bay leaf accents. Drink now through 2030. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
Winemaker Notes
Sourced from prime sites in Alexander Valley and Moon Mountain District, this garnet colored Cabernet Sauvignon beautifully encapsulates the breadth of Sonoma County with aromas of forest fruits, dark chocolate shavings, and a hint of dried herbs. Plush red fruits burst on the palate with a touch of cassis, supported by fine-grained tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish.
