Beautiful color and bouquet. Rich dark fruit with hints of licorice and cocoa. Well balanced with enough acidity and tannin structure to stand up to a delightful prime rib of beef dinner.

Beautiful wine, which hits all of the right elements. Nice nose of licorice and lavender. Expressive fruit on the palate with flavors black, red and blue fruits. Nice refined tannins on the finish.

We opened this on a weekday bc there was cause for celebration, and it delivered. This is just a tremendous wine, one of the best Sonoma cabs I’ve had. Nose is floral and fruity with the merlot backing it up. Well balanced and very smooth, a tartness too that is unique.

Drinking well now. Medium body with smooth round feel and a bit of tannin. Fruit first. Blueberry and blackberry with some wood and smoke. Try again in 2020 and see if the tannin mellows a bit.

rich smooth and well balanced. Like a good Napa Cab (even though it is from Alexander Valley)
