Dark garnet color. Nice approachable nose of cassis, oak, hint of eucalyptus. Palate is full of beautiful fruit, both red and dark. Additional layers of spice, blueberry and an interesting tone of olive. Tannins are gentle and smooth complementing a very balanced acidic profile. Long finish is smooth and not harsh.

Very dark in color with aromas of toasted mocha, black currant and spicy raspberries. Full body with velvet tannins and beautiful acidity. Creamy blackberry liquor dripping over toasted wafers with touches of blueberry, cranberry, rocky red soil, black currant and herb. The finish lingers forever. This wine strikes a superb balance of richness, body, and texture. Outstanding!

Pop and pour with a dinner of salmon and fresh crab cakes. Nose was fruit forward, well developed, inviting. The wine is classic Napa cabernet, in all the good ways. Complex palate of berries, hint of vanilla. Tannins are smooth, but still a little tight. This bottle will improve over time. It's one to grab if you have a chance.

A beautiful Cali Cab. Silky with smooth tannins. Not too over powering with great fruit and balance. Perfect with rib eyes.
