February 24, 2023 - Retail $55. Heavy bottle. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot. Three weeks ago I held the exact same tasting, so it would not be a surprise if the wines were in a similar place. A heavy dose of mocha and a hint of green pepper are the first impressions of the nose, along with some dark berry fruit and a host of spices. The palate? Lovely. Still fantastic fruit, with blackberry and plum seeming to be the most present. Whoa. The tartness comes in immediately after the fruit and is assertive, but in a good, balancing way. The mid-palate introduces spice (and just a hint of heat (15.5%), but that dissipates by the finish, which is lovely and lengthy. Outstanding.

February 5, 2023 - Retail $55. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, 1% Petit Verdot. This was the first wine of the second of three mini-verticals and this was stellar--dark in the glass, with oodles of dark berry fruit (blackberry, cassis, raspberry), plum, but also spice, and a distinct greenness that comes close to green pepper, but is closer to an herbal aspect. Great balance and a wonderful finish. This is fantastic.

January 7, 2020 - Approachable and easy drinking; yet with a solid backbone.
Red fruit, plum, touch of spice. Lots of fruit -- does not show its age.
A solid cab blend.
