REVIEWS
91 Wine Advocate The The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (100%) spent 26 months in 75% new oak. Aromas of pain grille, pencil lead, mineral, violets, blackcurrant, and blackberry lead to a firm, structured, impeccably balanced savory wine that will blossom with another 4-6 years of cellaring. Drink this impressive, fairly priced effort from 2014 to 2025. -Jay Miller
91 Wine Enthusiast Dense, deep and angular, this young Cabernet is a lot of wine, loaded with bright berry flavors mixing raspberry, strawberry and boysenberry. With great concentration and palate presence, this youthful wine shows grip and texture, as light pepper and spice flavors filter in, and the tannins add definition and power to the finish, which slowly opens into a light dusting of chocolate. -P.G.
