Crafted by blending three vineyards: 56% Harry’s Vineyard, 25% Spring Mountain and 19% Rutherford. The different structures of the three vineyards weave together to create a rich, dense, balanced, plush and creamy wine. Ripe, dark fruits meld with flowers, smoke, licorice, tar and mineral as this fresh and vinous red opens up in the glass. There is a wonderful purity and sheer density to the fruit that caresses the palate all the way through to the round, engaging finish. A gorgeous wine. - The wine has a classic Rutherford character. It is an elegant, classy wine with aromas of cranberry, spices, smoke, cedar and sap notes. It is rich and balanced revealing a slight dryness on the finish that will attenuate with further aging.
- A very big and voluptuous wine. It is packed with tannins but very soft and velvety tannins. Complex aromas of blackberry, violet, licorice, ink and rocks ooze out of the glass.
- Anatomy 2012 is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 4% Syrah. This wine was produced from the following Sub AVAs : 44% Rutherford, 21% Coombsville, 11% Atlas Peak, 8.6% Sonoma county, 7.1% Yountville, 4.1% Sonoma Mountain, 4.2% Saint Helena. The wine is medium bodied with crisp aromas of blackberry, cranberry, licorice, sweet oak and coffee.
- Bright and juicy with a mouthful of fresh red fruits at the core and caramel, balsa wood and currants adding nuances to the wine. A big yet bright, fresh and savory wine packed with red cherry.
- A dark wine with a French character. Black fruits, blueberry, leather, minty-ness, and cigar box. Firm, focused and distinctive. A thoughtful wine.
