Reviews and Accolades

95 Points/Tasting Panel
With small percentages of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot, this exquisitely aromatic and textural Cabernet begins with a perfume of crushed violets and black cherry. Concentrated flavors of blackberry liqueur, vanilla, and sandalwood flow across chewy, velvet- lined tannins.

92 Points/Wine Enthusiast
Savory Italian herbs, sweetened oak spices and a complex of black fruits, accented by brightening citrus, deliver a wine with mouthwatering flavor, layers of tannins and a persistent finish.

91 Points/James Suckling
A cool, calm cabernet from a hot vintage. It’s full-bodied but smooth and almost soft in tannins. The red and black fruit has good concentration and depth, with accents of herbs and olives. Aged in all French barrels with 50% new.
