Expert Reviews

90 Points | Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine

90 Points | International Wine Cellar , December 2008

($70) Bright ruby-red. Aromas of cassis, spicecake and bitter chocolate, with a strong component of sweet, nutty oak.

There's no reason not to enjoy this cabernet now but it should evolve nicely for five or six years.
