Reviews:
- Wine Enthusiast: Blended with Merlot. Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. this full-bodied. highly expressive red is made from Coombsville estate grapes as well as grapes from sites in Rutherford and Oakville. It presents concentrated. burly black-fruit notes tempered by savory clove. espresso. leather and toasted oak.
- James Suckling: Very attractive aromas of blackcurrants. black olives and dark leather with some cedar. It’s full-bodied with firm. silky tannins and a refined. polished finish. Shows finesse and focus. Grows on the palate. Really delicious now. but will improve with age.
