Plums, coffee and wood spice aromas are nicely integrated. Mocha chocolate flavors and a lively, dried cranberry mid-palate lead to a bright cherry lingering finish.

Untitled
"Well-proportioned, with intense, vibrant black cherry, wild berry, currant and smoky, cedary oak, showing a more herbal side on the finish, where the tannins are green with a tealike edge. Best from 2010 through 2016. 29,000 cases made. –JL" -Rated 87, Wine Spectator
Untitled
"7% Cabernet Franc; 5% Merlot; 4% Malbec; 2% Petit Verdot. Biased to black cherries and chocolate, but a bit lax in terms of keenly defined Cabernet fruit, this comparatively accessible and open offering is a touch light on central substance and a bit soft in balance. It lacks the brightness and drive needed for lengthy keeping, and it will show its best if drunk up before too many years have passed." -Rated 86, Connoisseur's Guide to California Wines
