Healdsburg, Sonoma County, California, United States

Grape Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot
Drink Now/Cellar

This wine is concentrated black fruits in a glass; it is very spiced, dense, complex and long with discreet oak notes. The bouquet and the palate will continue to develop over the next several years.

Reviewer: Stephen Tanzer

(14.4% alcohol): Bright ruby-red. Black fruits, tobacco leaf, licorice and violet on the nose; a bit like Cheval Blanc on steroids. Broad, ripe and plush but still a bit youthfully aggressive and in need of softening. Showing little easy sweetness; in fact, there's an inky, graphite mineral character that makes this wine seem a bit youthfully brutal. Finishes firm and alive, with the spine and energy for a long evolution in bottle. The broad tannins became increasingly chewy--even a bit youthfully tough--with air. This is still a baby. Extended time in the recorked bottle brought sexy game and coffee elements without any loss of freshness, and, if anything, the wine gained a bit in sweetness.
