This cabernet’s bouquet takes you on a trip around the aroma wheel and highlights the best of all the categories. Bold aromas of cherries, berries and currants, with a delicate undertone of green olives, then spiced caramel. The layers of fragrance promise a robust mouth feel, however the palate is delighted to find medium body, integrated acid and tingly tannins, along with a juicy fruit-forwardness that puts this cabernet in a category you don’t often find; a beautiful glass of cabernet that doesn’t require food to complement it; but will shine paired with most bites. The delicate power of this cabernet is impressive; layers of aroma and flavor, with restrained structure. Delicious now, and will improve for the next decade.
Aging program: 22 months, 66% New Oak (33% French Oak, 33% American Oak) and 34% Neutral Oak

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
“Overflowing with voluptuous black fruit infused with tobacco leaf, graphite and dried herbs. This red is polished and expressive, sculpted with an underlay of shining acidity and snowflake-like tannins. The fruit is elegant yet compact, defined by ultra-smooth cassis, blackberry and black cherry that gain exponential depth midpalate, layered with complex spice details that encircle the impressive finish. Shows terrific scope and depth.”
