- It is an intense golden color with a slight tint of green. The nose offers a hearty expression of candied fruit surrounded by discrete spicy, floral and honey suckle notes.
- Both aromatically and on the palate, the wine displays a symphony of bright red fruits led by cherries and raspberries. These engaging aromas are surrounded by hints of sage, lavender, caramel, sandalwood, resin, black olive and the dusty savory herbs one comes to expect from our layered Cabernets. The wine enters the palate sweet and round, lingers on the finish with creamy fine-grained tannins.
- Dark berry and black tea flavors mingle enticingly with a hint of orange peel in this smooth, ripe red, finishing with intensity and refined tannins.
- This is a revelation. The complex and site-specific aromas suggest wild herb, lavender, lemon verbena and black olive. The tannins are supple and ripe, with no green edge at all. The fruit combines mineral-soaked black cherry, sweet raspberry compote, and deep cassis. A marvelous wine, dense, detailed and seductive.
- Lushly aromatic and toasty, the substantial oak flavors are set against deep, brambly berry and cassis fruits. There are subtle suggestions of mint and some alcoholic heat, and an interesting orange peel scent carries into the mouth. The tannins are big and ripe and not at all bitter or too heavy.
- This Chardonnay opens with notes of freshly cut pears framed by balancing acidity. Fresh, vibrant and a sure bet for Chardonnay lovers.
