90 points James Suckling: "A super-savory nose of bay leaves, cracked pepper and sage, with layers of dark chocolate, ripe plums, blackberries and coffee. Silky on the palate, with robust, opulent red and dark fruit, juicy acidity and ripe tannins that feel well integrated. Over-delivers for a value wine. Full-bodied. Drink now. (6/12/25)"
Producer notes: "90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Handpicked grapes picked from Napa Valley, with a large portion grown in St Helena. Destemmed and crushed for native yeast primary fermentation in closed-top vats on the skins for 24 days. The wine was racked to 40% new French oak barrels from Seguin Moreau, Boutes, Taransaud, and Nadalie for complete malolactic conversion, followed by 16 months of aging. Black fruits dominate the wine with boysenberry and blueberry compote, accented by savory bramble notes, dark chocolate, and clove spice. Fine, silky tannin provides structure, weight and complexity."
