'A blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc and 9% Merlot, this is a dense and brooding wine, with dark notes of cassis, licorice, black plum, date and cigar-box spice on the nose and in the mouth. The palate is firmly structured, with medium tannins and balanced alcohol that lend the wine a crushed-velvet texture. Glimmers of charred oak and toasted spice linger long on the finish. Delicious now but should develop more layer and nuance with time; drink through 2018.' (Tasted in 2014) - Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast, 92/100
'A dense and chewy red, delivering damson plum, raspberry and cherry skin flavors wound together, along with a floral edge and an iron note. The long, savory herb–tinged finish has matured a touch, but is still vibrant and chiseled in feel and should unwind more with additional cellaring. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Drink now through 2017.' (Tasted in 2013) - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100
