“The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is very nicely done. Medium in body and silky with fine balance, the 2017 offers plenty of near- and medium-term appeal. Sweet red cherry, raspberry, cedar, spice and floral notes all open up in the glass.”

“The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is ample, generous and inviting. Inky dark fruit, cloves, lavender, licorice, menthol and spice give the 2016 lovely shades of darkness that complement its mid-weight structure nicely. This elegant, gracious Cabernet has plenty to offer. I would prefer to drink it over the next decade or so.”

“Plenty of blackberry pastille with vanilla and resin. Full-bodied with good juiciness to the tannins and a dark-chocolate-coated finish.”

“Made from a majority of Malbec with smaller additions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot, this is an attractively priced wine with soft red fruit and spice at its core. Generously layered, rich and well made, it offers a lasting flourish of toasted oak and tobacco.”
