Expert Reviews

92(+?) Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2012

(two-thirds cabernet franc and one-third cabernet sauvignon):  Good red-ruby.  Very sexy but youthfully reticent aromas of licorice, cocoa powder, red leaf tobacco, lavender and spicy oak.  Aromatic in the mouth but a bit musclebound today, conveying a cooler aspect to its cherry, spice and cedar flavors.  Finishes with lovely building perfume and classic dryness.  The cabernet franc is from 35-year-old vines at Rancho Chimiles in the temperate Wooden Valley, several miles northeast of the town of Napa, while the cabernet sauvignon is from Meteor Vineyard in Coombsville.
