Prominent gooseberry and grapefruit--seemed quite tart and not ripe despite the winery's description--? bottle variation or just my palate.

From memory--tasted alongside Beringer '16 St. Helena Home Vineyard cabernet. Dark cabernet fruit with accents of cocoa, vanilla, cedar, loam and stone. Medium acidity and medium+ tannins. Excellent integration and balance--a beautiful mountain cabernet with the depth of flavor and texture for which one hopes. 92-93. This was preferred to the St. Helena which was very good but did not have the same depth, intensity or finish, but which was notable for beautiful valley fruit.

Juicy and tart white cherry and grapefruit. Plenty of acidity. Clean with a nice texture to balance the tartness.
