“A blend of 34% Merlot, 13% Petit Verdot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cab Franc, and 5% Malbec. Dried violets, clove-spiced roses, and Hoisin sauce leads the senses in this ripe, alluring Bordeaux-style red. Tannins are supple and acidity is fairly high; a spotlight of bright plum, cola, and sour cherry linger with a touch of nutmeg on the finish. ” –The Tasting Panel, January 2025

“This shows notes of blackberries, currants, ground spices and hints of graphite, tobacco and moist earth, following through to a medium to full body with firm but nicely ripe tannins. Smooth and juicy, with layers of fruit and a spicy finish. 35% cabernet sauvignon, 34% merlot, 13% petit verdot, 13% cabernet franc and 5% malbec.” –James Suckling, May 2024

“Comprised of 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 13% Petit Verdot, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Malbec, this is a blend that’s greater than the sum of its parts. That’s a rare judgment on my part, as Cabernet Sauvignon can produce gloriously complete wines on its own from top North Coast appellations, but this does indeed draw some extra textural fleshiness from the Merlot component while also deriving interesting aromatic and flavor nuances from the other varieties. Already very well integrated, this will become even more complex with aging, but is showing beautifully now. It could easily stand up to a grilled steak, but could also play nicely with a roasted duck. That’s impressive versatility” – Tasting Panel Magazine & The Somm Journal, June 2023

“This is a rich and flavorful red with aromas of plums, currants, mocha, cloves and burnt sage. Fleshy and textured, with a full body and polished, broad tannins. Lovely creamy texture, with a long and toasty finish. 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 13% Petit Verdot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec.” –James Suckling, June 2023

“An inviting, herbaceous nose of thyme and sage with notes of black cherries and plums as well. Medium-to full-bodied with sandy tannins. Really clean, with bright red fruit shifting into more savory, dark-chocolate and leather character. Rather well done. Drink now.” –James Suckling, January 2022
