Reviews
Plush and inviting, with aromas of ripe plums, black cherries, mocha, blueberries and soft spices. The palate is full-bodied with smooth tannins and a rounded, fruit-driven finish. Plenty of early drinking enjoyment. Drink or hold.
Rich and layered, with aromas of blackberries, plums, dark chocolate and cedar. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins and a long, structured finish. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc and malbec. Drink or hold.
Ripe and structured, with aromas of dark cherries, cassis, cedar and mocha. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins and a long, savory finish. There's plenty of depth and structure, with some time in the bottle needed to soften the tannins. Drinkable now, but best from 2027.
Clean, fresh and floral, this Sauvignon Blanc gives energetic citrus and white flower aromas on the nose. The palate brings a wash of lively lime-tangerine acidity with flavors of pineapple and lemon curd that fade into a lovely herb mélange across the finish. — Tom R. Capo
Intense aromas of crushed raspberries and blackberries mingle with chopped mint leaves on the nose of this Cabernet blend. The palate brings a lively herbal freshness, juicy cherry-plum fruit and zippy acidity before grippy tannin exerts itself along the finish. — Tom R. Capo
