  Une délicieuse incursion dans les cabernets de Sonoma Valley. On ressent tout la puissance du soleil dans ce vin profond et robuste. Les arômes de cuir et de fruits bien mûrs lui donnent une prestance voluptueuse. À ne pas déguster avec un repas léger, ça lui prend quelque chose de musclé pour lui tenir tête. Avec toute cette force, ainsi que des tannins souples, je pense qu'il gagnerait en délicatesse et en saveurs si on le gardait encore quelques années.

  Classic Cali cab. Nice wood, fruity and juicy notes. Cedar, cassis, eucalyptus.

  The nose is muddled and comes off a tad bit hot, but does have a decent baked plum scent, mixed with wet stone and a faint pharmaceutical note. The palate has a noticeable acidity, but lacks a strong tanning presence, but what is there is on the round and soft end, so that is a plus. Flavours of plum, cinnamon and vannila, both of the latter coming from a half decent effort of not applying too much barrel to the fruit, something that I find far too many american producers cannot comprehend. This wine sits somewhere between an 87 and an 89, and at this time leans towards the lower. The lack of a refined bouquet and precise palate leave it on the south end of 90 without a question, but with all that said, at $20, I love this wine and find it a very refreshing american bottle.
