Critic Ratings
Jeb Dunnuck Review - Rated 97:
This estate Cabernet is a structured and masculine expression, with black fruit, chocolate, smoked earth and mineral notes. The full-bodied palate is opulent but firmly built, balancing richness with a serious frame. Several years of bottle age should allow it to open, and it has the depth for decades of development.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Review - Rated 96:
Made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine shows crème de cassis, mocha, Black Forest cake and savory hints of herbs, truffle and char. The full-bodied palate is generous yet elegant, with ripe, grainy tannins and excellent freshness. Its long finish is detailed by a persistent mineral quality.
