for the sheer power of ripeness, but also and especially for the
structure. The flavors of blackberries, cherries, currants, cocoa,
herbs, and sweetly smoked oak are beautiful and complex, yet the
tannin-acid balance is near perfect. This single vineyard wine is one of
the finest Sonoma County Cabernets of the vintage. Should age
effortlessly through 2014, growing purer and more elegant." -Wine Enthusiast
94 points "This
well-proportioned red is intense, concentrated and richly flavored,
with layers of loamy currant, anise, blackberry, mineral and sage that
are full-blown and powerful, yet not without a measure of finesse and
elegance. Best from 2011 through 2017. "
