Deep Ruby, youthful aromas blue & black fruits with sweet spice & slight mineral character. A blend of 92% Cab Sauv, 6% Malbec, 1% Petit Verdot & 1% Cab Franc from their estate-owned Napa Valley vineyards, aged 18 months French (62%) & American oak (38%) (48% new). Palate, complex flavors, blackberry, plums & cherry with sweet spice, oak & tobacco notes. Well balanced with good acidity & developing tannins. Full-bodied, long finish ending with pepper & wood spice. Nice! Sample!

Probably one of my favorite Cabernets. Berry flavors but not sweet. Beautifully balanced, medium tannins.

Steak night (for one of us), so we pulled out a good Cab. A little young, but smooth
