Vivino Rating 4.4 (Aug 2025)
Taste
The wine opens with invigorating aromas of black cherries, ripe cassis, plums, and delicate floral notes, complemented by hints of mocha, vanilla bean, and a lift of citrus. On the palate, layers of blackberries, huckleberry jam, and dark chocolate unfold, joined by nuances of graphite, cedar, and baking spices. The texture is plush and layered with refined tannins, a vibrant yet polished mouthfeel, and impressive mineral-inspired tension. The finish is long, structured, and caressing, with lingering notes of black tea, dry herbs, and subtle oak. This classic Napa Cabernet perfectly balances richness and freshness, making it both approachable now and suited for further aging.
