This is the flagship wine and is Cabernet Sauvignon based made with 100% new French oak with a dense array dark currant and cassis berry fruit with notes of licorice and sweet tobacco spice very forward and seductive. A big and sweet seductive fruit with an array of dark berry fruit 89 CS 6 mr and 5 pv blend. Very big and chewy but has wonderful nuance exotic floral notes very exotic a bit reserved right now but should blossom over time has all the right pieces in proportion.

What. Fantastic wine and a prime example as to why WA state is surging with new recognition as the next great thing after OR foursome CA. Integrated with balance and complexity with a great nose and mouthfeel reminiscent of much older wines. I'm a buyer. — 11 years ago
A return to a more New Zealand style SB, this vintage has restrained lemon lime flavors and a light grassy finish. As always, excellent value and a versatile food wine. — 12 years ago
