Winemaker's Notes:
Soft hints of toasted French oak dominate the hugely aromatic entry and provide ample support to the generous array of fruit that provide the start to this wine. An immense mid-palate explodes with a cacophony of dense dark chocolate and ripe bing cherries. The oak found on the entry lingers and frames an almost endless finish replete with a full complement of flavors and ripe tannins.

“This inaugural release is a tour de force that’s not for the weak of heart but awe-inspiring for all serious Napa Cabernet devotees. It commands attention with luscious aromas of black cherry, chocolate, and holiday baking spice seamlessly integrated with a plethora of seductive flavors (including waves of blueberries, cassis, pipe tobacco, and vanilla cream) combine for a virtually flawless joy ride. Built like a skyscraper, this distinguished Cabernet blend crescendos with a finish lasting almost 60 seconds. The weighty texture is already smooth as cashmere but will continue to evolve graciously for years to come but why wait when you can pop the cork and savor ever drop now (decanting recommended prior to 2017). Worthy of a 98 point rating now and flirting with 99+ points (maybe perfection?) over the next decade. BRAVO!” – California Wine Advisors
