With 4,300 bottles produced and only 110 cases imported, this is a gorgeous small production Cab that should be grabbed up when you find it. It’s all dark fruit and sweet spice with notes of black currant, fig, plum, leather and cigar box. With firm tannins and a medium-full weight, this is a big but balanced wine that’s easy to enjoy now or can be cellared for a couple of years. ——L.B.(12/31/2010)—— 91

A very distinctive nose of black currant, cinnamon, crushed herbs and chocolate cake give this Cabernet an alluring start. Flavors of red berries, pepper and spices follow. Soft tannins and an overall friendly character make this a good everyday choice.——S.K.(12/31/2009)—— 87
