Inaugural wine! Black fruit, black cherry, blueberry, chocolate, black currant, violet. Rustic! M acid, M+ tannin, balanced! Black Sears fruit has never disappointed! This wine lives up to the name! Give it a couple more years and it'll be 100 points!

All black cassis with some creamy raspberry, dark chocolate, black licorice, supple spice, soft tannins and pure elegance. A Howell Mtn. beauty from Tony Arcudi who worked under Heidi Barrett for seven years.

I was given this by a friend. I opened it for fun and wow! It hits the tongue with a dark, elegant, whimsical flare. As it works down the tongue, it turns to silk, while vanishing with an unbelievable finish. This is a wine I'm buying to save because it will only get better! It is a must try!

Tony Arcudi, an amazing up and coming winemaker. The Fruit is from 2400ft elevation with floral aromas with ripe blackberry & cassis. Well structured with good body, length & tannins. Age worthy.

@Greg Gregory Finally got a chance to try this cab and I loved it! It had a rustic feel to it that I was not expecting but really liked. There's tons of black fruit flavors in there along with a slightly dry finish. So well balanced. If I can find more I we would love to see how they do a few years down the line. Going to Napa in Sept, corresponded with A. Arcudi to try and plan a tasting 🍷👍
