TASTING NOTES
The fruit for this vintage was chosen from our premier vineyard sites throughout the Napa Valley, mainly the Rutherford and Oakville appellations. The bright, ripe fruit and substantial mouthfeel that characterize this complex bottling are a direct result of the meticulous care and attention to detail paid by our vineyard workers to the vines.

92 POINTS - "A delicious, soft red with medium body and lovely berry, chocolate and hazelnut aromas and flavors. Soft, creamy finish. A beautiful wine now. 89% cabernet sauvignon, 6% petit verdot, 3% malbec and 2% merlot." - James Suckling
90 POINTS - "Blended of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 3% Malbec and 2% Merlot, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is deep garnet-purple colored with a charry, herbal, earthy nose with baked berries, meat and tobacco scents. Medium to full-bodied, firm and chewy with an herbal streak, it finishes just a tad hard but not bad." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Optimal conditions for fermentation and barrel aging produced a dark ruby wine with inviting aromas of cinnamon, blueberry, blackberry, vanilla, and cedar. A juicy mid-palate shows flavors of cherry and layers of texture. The natural sweetness of the fruit balances the bright acidity and follows through to the lingering coffee and vanilla cream-laced finish.
