IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Wine & Spirits 91 points - From four estate vineyards on the hillsides and benchlands of Alexander Valley, this is an elegant cabernet with a lean frame. The floral scents turn toward ripe plum and dark berries, while the spicy tannins have a dark walnut-skin bitterness. Rather than being weighty with extract, this has tension and motion, a counterpoint to seared duck breast or grilled portobello mushrooms..August/2018

Ultimate Beverage Challenge 93 points - 2018 Ultimate Wine Challenge (Tried and True Award)(Great Value)(Finalist) - The black fruit of this wine is nuanced by herbaceousness and vanilla from oak aging. This is a supple, rich wine with prune and other dried fruits still maintains a lively acidity that drives its long, persistent finish..June/2018
