Aromas of forest fruit with mineral and floral notes. Shows a good level of ripeness without the feeling of being overdone. A fresh attack, velvety and concentrated; a lush style with tannic backbone.
Sourced largely from the Martin Stelling Vineyard, this is a supple, soft wine, with refined tannins. A zippy nose of rose and spice scents paves the way for more powerful leather saddle, cedar and black tea elements. Its fruit is wild and brambly, recalling blackberry and dark cherry with enviable succulence.
This wine caught our San Francisco panelists' attention, as a cabernet that “speaks of its pedigree.” Francesca Maniace, of Commonwealth, said, “This is Oakville. The wine is cohesive, and everything goes where it should go.” Gianpaolo Paterlini, of Acquerello and 1760, found it “structured, powerful and young.” That youthfulness shows up in a mouthful of tannins, a little hard edged for now, even as the wine itself is silky and rich enough to encompass all of its plentiful black fruit. Bold, juicy and intense, this will be at its best in a decade.
