點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：11868

Firm, intense and structured, complex and concentrated, full-bodied and savory, with a mix of dried currant, sage, cedar and roasted herbs, veering to the drier side, but nonetheless complex and satisfying. Needs air. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petite Verdot. Drink now through 2018. 1,294 cases made. -JL

Doesn’t say so on the label, but it’s Cabernet Sauvignon. However it’s utterly unlike most other Napa Cabs in the dryness and tartness. Almost like a Chianti, with bone-dry cherry, red currant and tobacco flavors, scoured with tannins, that finish with a cut of acidity. ——S.H.(10/1/2010)—— 87

Rich and concentrated, yet rustic and leathery, delivering a mix of appealing currant and mineral flavors, with some funky earthy tones. Full-bodied. Needs decanting. Best from 2011 through 2017. 2,000 cases made. -JL

Austere, with a mix of dried currant, roasted coffee, sage and pebble notes, ending with drying tannins. Tight and concentrated, but needs time. Decant. Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2009 through 2013. 1,489 cases made. -JL
