"An impressive Alexander Valley wine made from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and the rest equal parts Malbec and Petit Verdot, it spent 22 months in 65% in new French oak, with 500 cases produced. The wine reveals a classic Alexander Valley earthiness, lots of density as well as a masculine personality, with great fruit, deep blueberry and blackberry notes, dusty, loamy soil undertones, underbrush and spice. Full-bodied, intense and drinking well, it should last easily . . ." Wine Advocate #219, Jun 2015 |
