The bouquet is simply lovely, offering aromas of black fruit, cedar spice, violets and cassis.

The richness and cashmere-like smooth texture catapults this new release into the upper echelon of Napa reds, with its astounding density, concentration and finesse.

Showing robust intensity and opulence with a bouquet of blue and black fruit notes.

As it moves softly across the palate, it develops ripe plum, maraschino cherry, baking spice that surrounds a core of minerality that carries through to the very end.

The plush tannins make this gem approachable now (decanting recommended) and well positioned to age gracefully for the next 5 – 7 years in your cellar.
