Cocoa powder, wild berries, walnuts and graphite on the nose. It’s focused and sleek, with a medium to full body and tight-knit tannins that run the length of the wine. Long and savory. 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 5% Syrah, 3% Malbec and 1% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2026.
92 Points Decanter
This Cabernet Sauvignon from Red Mountain offers plenty of dark fruited depth and umami richness on the aromatics as smoky soy and hoisin envelope black plums and savory herbs with a whisper of wild, dried lavender. Dried desert scrub offers a savory frame with roast sea salt, black plums and anise layering on complexity and balance to this wine’s depth and mouth filling breadth.
90 Points Wine Enthusiast
A sweet and tart mulberry aroma is pierced by notes of red pepper and strong-brewed black tea. The wine's leathery tannins and modest acidity are accompanied by flavors of orange pith, cinnamon and tart, earthy elderberries. If you ever grill venison steaks, maybe with a blueberry compote, serve this wine.
Winemaker Notes
Opening with a vibrant bouquet, this Cabernet Sauvignon presents enticing aromas of raspberry and damson plum, intertwined with notes of sarsaparilla, cherry cola and wild sage. On the palate, the dark cherry and plum flavors are reinforced, leading to shapely tannins and a polished mouthfeel. Accents of spice, earth, and tea leaf give way to a plush, long-lasting finish.
