This beautiful merlot-based wine offers depth, silkiness, layering and subtle, enticing flavors. It tightens up snugly on the palate while fine, powdery tannins add texture and good acidity gives balance. An age-worthy red and a great example of an excellent vintage. Blended with 6% cabernet franc and 5% malbec. Drink now or hold.

Gorgeous, structured, balanced and layered, this is a complex, deep and elegant wine that offers wonderful fruit, detailed spices, toast, minerals and savory accents. Black-cherry, blueberry, graphite and tobacco-leaf aromas and flavors. It’s difficult to think of a more complete, harmonious and fascinating Cabernet Sauvignon from California. Drinkable now and best from 2035.

So pretty, layered, elegant and sophisticated, showing distinctive, delicious dark fruit with spices and savory notes. Aromas and flavors move from rose petals, violets, red and black cherries, blackcurrants and orange peel to herbs and nutmeg. Well-balanced with a lacy texture of firm, fine-grained tannins that are smooth and silky. Drinkable now and best from 2030.
