“Charming, with black currant, cassis and cedar; smooth delivery with great balance and structure, picking up a cocoa note on the extended finish.”

“...shows some European influence. They are still richly Californian but show rather more restraint and finesse. This wine has very enjoyable blackberry fruit and drinks well now and will do so for five years at least. ”
Malcolm Anderson
“A great wine marked by what it does not have: charred oak, high alcohol (13.5%), or fatness. It smells like a Napa Cabernet (dust, herbal/cherry) and delivers classic dried-herb fruit. Hats off to winemaker Michael Beaulac for his restraint.”
