Tied for #25 Best Selling Wine at The Vintage Wine Shoppe
 
95 Points Tasting Panel
Richly appointed, with dark blue and purple fruit and a plush mouthfeel. Notes of plum liqueur and freshly roasted coffee grace the palate as dark chocolate and anise entwine with the wine's well-defined structure and satin-lined tannins. Spiced red tea and sandalwood engage with more chocolate on the finish.
 
92 Points Wine Enthusiast
Sour cherry, cherry tobacco and dry cocoa freshened by a mineral graphite element carry this Cabernet into a juicy, long finish of melting tannins and generous flavor. Approachable amplitude makes for a crowd-pleasing and delicious wine.
 
90 Points James Suckling
A fresh, fruit-forward and easily accessible Napa cabernet with notes of plums, red cherries and eucalyptus. The palate is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity and soft tannins giving notes of blackberries, cassia bark and orange zest.
 
Winemaker Notes
Aromas of cassis, clove, and Christmas spice jump out of the glass while notes of blueberry pie filling and toasted mocha continue on the palate. Structured tannins lead to a long and elegant finish, making this an instant classic.
