Critic tasting note: "Quietly, Hewitt flies below the radar, often producing Cabernets that, while not cheap, rival their pricier competition. Consider their '09 a deal. It's dry, smoothly tannic and complex, offering waves of black cherry jam, mocha, licorice and smoky oak. You can drink this lovely wine now, but it should develop in the bottle over the next 10 years." - 94/100, Wine Enthusiast

We cold soaked the must for gentle extraction and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Following extended maceration and pressing, the wine completed malolactic fermentation in barrels to round the acidity and enrich the mouthfeel. Gentle rackings naturally clarified the wine, while barrel aging melded complex oak nuances with the ripe, dark-fruit expression.

Elegant, complex and layered, the palate is dark and dense, saturated with blackberry, black currant and black cherry alongside espresso bean and graham cracker notes. The firm cocoa-powder tannins – a signature of Rutherford dust character – enhance the velvet texture and well-balanced structure, providing a mineral-rich finish.
