Points A true icon in California winemaking. From its inky black-carmine hue to its dusty, teeth-gripping nature, it's a muscle-bound athlete… graphite and new leather, wrapped in plum skin, espresso and violets.

96
Points A polished, stylish, and attractive wine. It is beautifully layered with crushed blackberry and black cherry notes, complemented by elegant cedarwood spices… a graceful and refined wine.

95
Points A classic, reserve-style wine that's dense, layered and polished, but also deep and long… Savory, floral and lavender aromas, with graphite, dark chocolate and creme de cassis flavors.

Tasting Notes

This wine opens with sultry aromas of dark plum and crème de cassis with a hint of lavender. The palate is plush and structured with layers of dark fruit, nicely integrated oak and rich, velvety tannins. We recommend decanting this wine, especially in its youth, to encourage these bold characters to open up and fully evolve. Pair with pork tenderloin and cherry compote, or grilled New York steak with a demi-glace for an ultra-decadent meal. Rewarding and ready for enjoyment now, the 2022 vintage is also well suited to age for 10-15 years in proper cellaring conditions.
