Critic tasting note: (2017 vintage) "Tasty red fruit is complemented by spicy oak in this approachable wine. With a juicy midpalate, it offers structure, rich smoothness and a lasting tone of warm spice. Virginie Boone" - Wine Enthusiast

2017 Vintage
Tasted: Apr 2020
An easy-drinking Cabernet that over delivers quality at its price point. It’s showing solid varietal character in both aroma and flavor profiles, with a nice lift of cassis character in the finish. A solid value in a solo drinker, or pair with beefy dishes or medium strength cheeses. (Rich Cook)
2017 Vintage
Tasted: Sep 2019
This blend of 85% cabernet sauvignon, 10% merlot, 3% zinfandel, 1% petite sirah and 1% petit verdot has rich dark-cherry, blackcurrant, violet and leafy aromas. The palate is nicely carved with sweet, fleshy fruit, set in open-knit mode and creamy, sweet oak at the finish. Drink now.
