Lush and generous, this has a center of blackberry fruit, showing barrel accents of sweet baking spices. Notes of graphite and clean earth round out the finish. — (11/1/2012) —90

This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon is a more subtle, and more interesting wine than the winery’s Cab Franc. Here the ripeness seems more stable and balanced, with just the right hints of leaf and bark, and a subtle suggestion of chocolate. The finish is smooth and textural, and a bit of coffee kicks in right at the end; very nice. ——P.G.(6/1/2006)—— 90
