More information on wine critics and ratings
90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Aged in American oak barrels (40% new)  for approximately 24 months. A full-bodied, classic expression of Alexander Valley Cabernet in a cool vintage with a bright ruby-red colour with purple undertones. Aromas of black cherry, cedar and black olives. On the palate, its dried herb, cocoa and lavender flavours are framed by dusty tannins and a savoury texture. 

Decanter (DCT) : 91 Points (2016)
Concentrated and intense nose with dense blackcurrant fruit, elegant pencil shavings and herbal notes. Grippy tannins with cassis framed by vanilla oak.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 90 Points (2013)
Pure, rich and firm, with an enticing core of blackberry, black olive, dill and herb flavors, ending with a cedary oak edge. Impressive for the mix of intensity and balance. Drink now through 2032. (JL, Web Only-2017)
