Antonio Galloni called Napa's 2014s '... aromatically expressive, rich and energetic, with striking balance and plenty of potential' (vinous.com, June 2015). William Kelley of Decanter said the 2014 Cabernets show '... supple, dark fruit ... depth and energy ...' and called them '... drinkable, charming wines ...' (decanter.com, June 24, 2016).

Tasting Notes
Rich, elegant and very Bordelaise in style with dusty tannins and a taught palate. Red and black fruit intermingle alongside ripe tannins and notes of vanilla and liquorice. A smoky, cedar character lifts the fruit and adds dimension. A dry, highly structured vintage that shows restraint and grace. Best 2018-2022. Tasted June 2015. Score - 92.
