• Rob Hansult Likes this wine: 90 points

  April 4, 2014 - Medium deep ruby.
  NOSE > Red-cherry, pomegranate, lavender, aromatic black, red, blue, wild fruit, grilled tomato/herbs, stewed-tomato.
  Some smoky, creamy richness. Cabernet Sauvignon (30%) keeping it reigned in/tight.
  PALATE > Med + bodied. Some richness, but more savory & linear.
  Red-cherry, crushed wild berries, sumac-tea, sappy cherry-bark, lavender, & grilled herbs. Tannins are nice, not overdone - tight, not rich. Restrained use of oak accentuates fruit on nose & palate.
  The Cab Sauvignon dominates. Med intensity, depth, & length.
  Nice stuff. Will age medium term.
  (65% Merlot, 30% C.S., 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Syrah)
  Not as good as the '07.
  (90+)
