Muscular and versatile, this Cabernet Sauvignon commands an audience. There are layers of flavor that unfold throughout, with blueberry, nutmeg, clove, oolong tea and a hint of mint. The final coda is supple and evolves with hoisin and cured meats and dark chocolate for a finishing flourish that sings.
This dense and dusty single-vineyard red was aged 20 months in French oak. Ripe boysenberry is painted over by mocha, lavishing flavors on suede tannins. Violets emerge mid-point, bursting with aroma and adding to a creamy mouthfeel.
A small production, single-vineyard estate red, with staggering mineral tones on a firm base. Tannins are present and in place with an impressive structure. It possesses notes of roasted coffee, bittersweet dark chocolate, and an inner serenity, which keeps it balanced and approachable.
A wash of pear and lemon blossom are laced with a mineral component. Green apple offers a tart, puckering sensation. Floral notes, a lilt of pecan, and crème fraiche bring the flavors all together.
Spiced cedar and dusty, dried roses are layered with a foundation of graphite and cinnamon hots. This dynamic Cab holds its own: generous with bountiful fruit and well-integrated, finely grained tannins.
From its black-magenta hue to its rich, ripe, black cherry and chocolate entry, this powerhouse is reined in by exquisite suede-textured tannins.
Racy acidity adds zing to under-ripe pineapple and a stark lean texture on the palate. Grassy notes expand, with garden herbs and just-squeezed lime.
This just-released vintage is creamy and lush yet bright with cranberry notes. Acidity shows up to add freshness to its combination of energy and elegance.
