winemaker's notes:

Aroma: Aromas of blackberry, plum, clove, coffee, and cassis with hints of toasty oak and sweet vanilla.

Flavor: Flavors of cassis, coffee and toasted oak add to this rich and mouth-filling Cabernet. A lingering finish is the result of a well-structured body, full texture with ripe, refined tannins.

  a nice surprise - 4/11/2008
I would buy this wine again

In a world glut of cabernets, I usually don't try too many, preferring shiraz style wines presently. While attending a conference recently asked someone what they were drinking, and purchased a bottle. This is one smooth Cab, with plenty of flavors and complexities, very balanced and several steps above most I've tried! Given the head winemaker's resume, it is no surprise to favorably compare this to Stag's Leap.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
