Producer Notes:
"Deep and complex, this Old-World-style vintage offers a harmonious blend of dark fruit, spice and earth. Mixed berries and bright blueberry meet a subtle hint of clove on the nose, leading to rich layers of blackberry, cocoa nib and white pepper on the palate. Structured tannins provide depth and balance, while extended aging in French oak enhances its elegance."

James Suckling July 2025 - 94 Points
“The nose is slightly restrained and intriguing, with graphite, dried herbs, black cherries, red cherries, anise and stones. The palate is incredibly silky and complete, with rose petals in the finish. A very pretty cabernet that is wonderful now and will reveal more with time. Drink or hold.”
The Somm Journal July 2025 - 96 Points
“Thanks to a lower alcohol level than most Napa Cabs, the silky tannins and bright acidity are fluid and shine with an inherent approachability. Vivid notes of boysenberry, vanilla cedar, and sweet soil are amplified with a surge of saline minerality. St. Julien style with that California glow.”
