Lovely aromas are a perfect mix of dust, rock, cassis and black fruits; the flavors carry so much detail that it’s hard to catalog it all. Subtle but well defined, they cascade over and around each other in a gentle profusion—there is black cherry, then rock, then lead pencil, then some smoke, then a whiff of licorice, and so on. A fascinating wine with good aging potential.——P.G.(2/1/2011)—— 93

A strong vintage at a star vineyard brings a tight, chewy wine of great character. Black and blue fruits, a firm and full vein of mineral and graphite, and an overriding sense of restrained power. This is a wine that may require some years in the bottle to open up, but with decanting can be enjoyed immediately.——P.G.(2/1/2011)—— 92

Firm in texture, with lots of violet and lavender overtones to the blackberry flavors, lingering against hints of tobacco and earth. Complex and interesting, but needs time to soften. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2011 through 2016. 340 cases made. -HS
