Will make it simple . A textbook example of the type of California cab I enjoy. Plummy , dusty, sweet tannin and well hidden alcohol. — 8 years ago

Oh my lord. What an extremely balanced, smooth wine. The aroma/nose is perfect, youthful fruits and berries, oak; but the taste is where it's really at. Sublime, smooth, nothing prominent, nothing hidden, all of them sitting in a equal row, like an extremely high end pair of headphones, nearly clinical. High alcohol content, low viscosity, translucent ruby color, presence of gas. What an absolutely incredible wine -- and it's from California!!! — 8 years ago

Dark purple. Nice nose of oaks, cedar, abundance of black fruits like black cherry, sweet hickory notes like California upscale Cabernet, raisins, and slightly herbal. Taste is jammy and chewy, with sweet note like vanilla, milk chocolate, black currants and raisins. Hidden within in it is firm tannins and solid acidity, some spice, grassy herbal notes, and some cherries. Aftertaste of vibrant acidity like balsamic vinegar and residual sweetness, cherry, a tiny bit of zest and oaky, medium long. This is a full body wine that makes you keep going and going until you finish the last drop of it. — 9 years ago

Clear, pale lemon colour. Clean, pronounced aromas of gooseberry and tropical fruits. Palate is dry with high acidity. Light bodied with zingy, ripe passionfruit and citrus flavours. Short finish. A very good quality wine. — 7 years ago

Cab Franc is so underrated. Usually like French ones better but this one is awesome for Ca. Still has that vegetal quality but rounded out with tons of big Cali vibes fruit. Medium tanin. Yum. — 7 years ago

Loads of showy, aromatic, pretty, and mostly red fruit. Has stern mineral backbone hidden underneath. Started drinking nicely after about 2 hours. I would not open another bottle anytime soon. I’d say bury it in the cellar for at least 5 years before trying but it may not hit its stride until 10+ years. There’s so much here, I think this’ll be fantastic once developed. 93 pts indicating the quality of the wine and its potential, not this drinking experience. — 8 years ago
