"Bordeaux-like in its structure and austerity, with a band of cedar, dried currant, anise, sage and herb. On the finish, the tannins are dry, with hints of tobacco and earth, but the flavors keep unfolding. Decant. Drink now through 2010. 7,620 cases made. 87 points" Wine Spectator
"Drinks a bit weedy and thin, with herbal flavors occasionally enriched by blackberry. Bone-dry, with pronounced tannins and acids, it’s a hard, lean wine, although clean and well made....clean...lean...hardberry, currant, grapey, herb, vanilla, blackberry, herbal flavors" Wine Enthusiast
The medium plus body combined with juicy ripe fruit and flavor-enhancing acidity make this versatile wine an excellent complement to grilled steaks, salmon or even a meaty pizza.
This wine exhibits delicious aromas of black cherry and currant with notes of green olive, cedar, dried herbs, and vanilla. Rich and medium in body, with smooth, supple tannins, the flavors suggest cherry, cassis, and nutmeg spice. Expressing true Cabernet Sauvignon varietal character, the wine will pair well with braised and roasted meat dishes such as pot roast, prime rib, crown roast of pork or short ribs and the most hearty pasta and poultry recipes.
