Score: 94 | This provides a large, lush, rolling wave of dark plum, boysenberry and açaí compote infused liberally with espresso crema, roasted vanilla and licorice root notes. The broad, loamy finish is dense and muscular, but with the energy to carry this along. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2040. 185 cases made. -JM, Aug 2024

Vintage 2021
The growing season of 2021 saw extremely low rainfall followed by a warm summer. The result of this season was an early harvest and a light yielding crop. These growing conditions typically correspond to a high-quality fruit and low yields. Overall, 2021 did not disappoint, creating wines with opulent aromatics, terrific volume and flavors with tremendous persistence.
