An excellent cabernet sauvignon that shows typical dark olives, paprika, tobacco leaves, ash and some blackcurrants. Very tight and fine-grained on the palate, with dusty tannins and a long, layered finish. Powerful and polished. Drink now or hold. ~94 James Suckling
This fresh, pure red's aromas of freesia and thyme lead to a polished core of cherry and strawberry that gains in richness and intensity as it lingers onto the finish, picking up stony hints around fine tannins, with a late echo of coffee bean. Drink now through 2030. 90,000 cases made, 5,000 cases imported. ~ 90 Wine Spectator
The nose of this Cabernet Sauvignon reveals an attractive mix of cranberry and bell pepper aromas. The palate is juicy, featuring ripe berries, baking spices and hints of bell pepper, with a medium finish. ~ 90 Wine Enthusiast
