This dark opaque purple-ish wine is at a great stage. Expressive notes of blue/purple fruits, fresh red berries, hints of bramble, sage, thyme, tobacco, caramel and crushed stones. Texture on the palate is superb, good acidity, sexy tannins and long finish.

3 hr decant. Ruby to purple. Intense nose of minerals, bramble, bush, matchstick, dried soil, blackberries and cherries from the Stagecoach terroir. Medium plus bodied adds some wild dark fruits, blueberry cupcake, savory herbs, toasted caramel and 85% dark chocolate. Silky tannins. Great finish. The wine is terroir driven on the nose but plush on the palate. Great mix!

Fruit taken from blocks specifically designed by Mark Herold in the Stagecoach Vineyard. Deep and dense purple color with hints of bright magenta. Perfumed nose of brambly fruits, lush dark fruits, wrapped in dusty and structured soil of the Stagecoach terroir. Palate has this Hedonistic balance of black fruits, vanilla, cola, chaparral, caramelized herbs, English toffee and sweet dirt. Good acid framework with plush tannins on long finish. Agree with Galloni’s 95-96

Another outstanding Mark Herold cab. Big, bold, tons of dark fruit, yet very luscious at the same time. Still very young.
