The 2015 'Pere de Famille' is a Cabernet based wine with a touch of Petit Verdot blended in. It was aged for 19 months in new French oak prior to bottling and the resultant wine starts out with a lovely combination of red and dark fruits along with green bell pepper nuances on the nose. The plush texture entices, as the wine unveils flavors of red cherries, wild blackberry cobbler, lavender and a kiss of milk chocolate. Balanced, with wonderful weight, this wine will likely begin to show its best after some short-term cellaring. Drink 2019-2033- 94

Boysenberry and blackberries dominate the pallet. Big nose is a plus for this young cab. While time will be its friend, it was a pleasure to drink

Dark and rich and spicy with blackberries, coffee, earth and char. Moderate acidity carries into the solid finish.

Beautiful red mountain cab - 87% cab Sauvignon, 9% petit Verdot, 4% merlot. Stark tannins and deep dried cherries dominate a blend layered with nice toasty oak notes.
