Big blast of cedar, cigar box, and blackberry aromas with hints of olive. Jam-packed flavors of plum, black olive, and dark chocolate. Big, dusty tannins support
the seamless mouthfeel and a delicate core of acidity stretches out the finish.
Critic Ratings
Tasting Panel Review - Rated 92:
Sourced from sustainably farmed, SIP-certified vineyards, this concentrated, sensual blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 6% Malbec spent 18 months in French and American oak and offers spiced mulberry, tomato leaf, cigar box, blackberry, and graphite. Chalky tannins adhere to big shoulders within a graceful frame.
Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 90:
In a world of fruit-driven Cabernet Sauvignon, this brand is not shy of herbal influences. In this bottling, aromas of oregano, marjoram, cracked pepper and dried berries work well on the nose, while the palate's chalky tannins frame flavors of charred berry, bay leaf and more garden herbs.
