This luxurious wine draws you in with soaring aromas of cherry pie, grenadine and plum, as well as delightful notions of sagebrush, fennel, sarsaparilla and hints of flinty minerality and barrel spice. On the broad, supple palate, silky tannins underscore concentrated flavors of dark fruit and spice, with sophisticated notes of cocoa, tobacco leaf, black tea, nutmeg and cardamom emerging on the long, rich finish.
Blend: 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 2% Malbec
Critical Acclaim
92pts James Suckling
This is a focused cabernet that has ripe plums, blackberries, tea leaves and dark chocolate on the nose. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins and a nicely linear and balanced finish. Drink or hold.
90pts Wine Enthusiast
Imagine black cherries and a cedar box that once housed Punch Gran Puro cigars. That's how this wine makes its aromatic introduction. Then the medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon delivers black-fruit flavor to go with dark-chocolate and balsa notes. Modest acidity is joined by grippy tannins, so prepare to decant.
