Professionelle Bewertungen

James Suckling (99)

A great example of a 2021 from a district of southern Napa that often produces the coolest, most supple cabernets. So dense yet silky and elegant. Graphite, iron, seashell and espresso aromas meet super-concentrated flavors of blackcurrant, blackberry and cocoa, all wrapped in extra-fine tannins that structure it for long aging without being at all harsh to sip now. Fresh and balanced.

Decanter (95)

A blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot, and 2% Merlot. Grapes were hand-sorted and fermented with native yeasts. Maceration lasted 27 days, with pump-overs and délestage. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation occurred in barrel. Aged 20 months in 50% new French oak. Bottled, unfined, and unfiltered. Profound iron stone mineral aromatics lift out of the glass, along with black cherry, plums, and rich cedarwood and dark chocolate notes. Medium-bodied with pronounced, structured tannins, juicy raspberry and plum fruits, herbs, and citrus peel. It has the quality of a beautifully composed claret that has the bones to cellar for the long term.
