A deeply hued wine with aromas of Bing cherry, blackberry briar and hints of fresh cut pine, roast coffee, vanillin and toasty oak. Juicy and fresh on the palate with ripe plum, currant, anise, black olive and black pepper spice intertwined with cocoa and dusty fine-grained tannins. A classically structured Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with a lingering, opulent finish.
The fruit was hand-harvested in the cool morning hours and clusters were sorted using a double sorting system. First they were sorted by hand, then ran through a small de-stemmer before individual berries were sorted. Fruit was delivered to a fermenter where warm fermentation temperatures were encouraged along with gentle cap maceration to achieve the desired color and structure for the wine before an extended maceration time on skins. The wine was transferred directly to barrel for 18 months of maturation.

93 Points, Wine Enthusiast – “Juicy and full bodied, this flavorful Cabernet delivers upright structure and length. Tobacco, cracked pine and graphite swirl on a dark-fruit background. Well built for food.” – ECB, Sept. 2024
91 Points, Wine Spectator – “A tasty version, with a mix of açaí berry, plum and black cherry compote notes wrapped in sweet toast and licorice details. A light bramble accent adds energy on the fan-friendly finish. Drink now through 2032.” -JM, Oct. 2025
91 Points, JamesSuckling.com – “Staunch and straightforward, this firmly textured wine combines a fresh fruitiness with ample tannins and chocolatey vanillin accents. Full-bodied, ripe and almost sweet on the palate.” – JS, Mar. 2024
91 Points, Decanter – “A blend of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot, and 1% Merlot aged 18 months in 100% new French oak. Grapes are sourced from St. Supéry’s 202ha planted Dollarhide Estate Vineyard in Napa’s northeastern hills, as well as from their Rutherford Estate Vineyard. The winemaker is Michael Scholz. Very nice and polished with grainy textures, with mulberry and spiced plum fruit that has real staying power. Chalky minerals and hints of tobacco round out the grippy finish.” -JC, Aug. 2024
