Dark ruby hue with high saturation. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, chalk, leather, and strawberry. Medium-high tannins and medium-low acidity. Soft and juicy (which suggests another varietal included with the Cabernet Sauvignon). Nevertheless very approachable and dangerously drinkable. — 6 years ago

Smells of an old Tobacco factory after a rainstorm.

Gentle and precise, a flash of bright fruit, Then a touch of saline, a hint of garden vegetable, well rounded acids and and and exhale of vanilla tannins. — 7 years ago

Beautiful pale gold, super crisp and acidic with buttery straw and a hint of banana. We had it with salmon and it's beautiful. No oak on this. — 9 years ago

Very high acid almost krug like. However this has a driving depth and unctuousness that really unique. Slight chalky finish and puckering. — 11 years ago

This one comes from a certified sustainable farm, with blackberry and dried cranberry character, a bit sweet and fruity at the end which makes it perfect for drinking by itself, it won’t go wrong with a nice steak! — 6 years ago

Ken Venezio

9.2

Dark crisp ruby red in the glass and a nose full of blackberry, bright plums and cocoa. Medium tannins and nicely structured. On the palate it was very aromatic with sage, lavender and rose and a medium to long finish. This is a winner. Love Ladera and the Cabs are world class. — 8 years ago

This is just ridiculous. Act 7. Tastes of deep figs/plums up front as if grandma just baked a pie in your mouth. Finished smooth with a tiny bit of spice and more jams that make you want to cry. More of this please. — 6 years ago

Peter Sultan

9.1

My kind of Malbec-excellent balance, emphasis on freshness, acidity, but the black fruit shines as well, alcohol completely in check. My go to wine shop thought this was their best malbec (out of many) & I agree — 7 years ago

Surprised me, bold flavors, many layers, pepper, chili, vanilla. Long finish with complexity — 8 years ago

9.3

Can't believe I've held on to this treasure for so long! Cedar and sandalwood on the nose. Silky with a bright and savory--almost vegetal--finish. Perfect with filet and steak-house style garlicky creamed spinach. These grapes were picked when I was still in high school! — 8 years ago

Hao Feng
