Fruit forward. Nice Rutherford fruit. No tannins. Drank in early 2022. Red fruit really came alive compared to precious few years drinking this bottle. Ready to go now!!

Still in very good shape. Firm strength, on opening the tannic notes first appear then with air the settled flavors of chocolate and dark fruit appear, firmness is still there in this wine. A very nice glass of wine, a little bit of air and the real flavor and warmth of this wine appear.

Opaque dark purple. Aromas of dark fruit and spices. The palate is full-bodied and dry, featuring notes of black plums, blackberries, pepper, tobacco, chocolate, and earth. Beautifully balanced and drinking well right now.

Big bold nose up front: baking spices, earth, light menthol and oak. Initially closed, quickly opens up into tannic blackberry and bramble mix more reminiscent of a single vineyard Zinfandel. Black currant and violet lurk on the nose too. Lovely.

Matching power and ripeness with finesse, this opaque ruby, full-bodied Cabernet delivers a payload of dark bramble fruits, currants, espresso and pickling spice. Although this wine is lavishly oaked, the fruit remains front-and-center, supported by low-to-medium acidity, seamless alcohol (14.5%) and generous sweet tannins. Rich and layered on the mid-palate, it finishes with excellent persistence. Many may question the merits of this ultra-chic winery, but this is one of their bottlings that is deserving of attention. Drink now-2026.
