winemaker's notes:

Number 13 on the Wine.com 100 of 2007!

Varietal composition: 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc

Brilliant medium deep ruby color. Perfumey aromas of cassis, blackberry and ripe plums, with a hint of roasted chestnuts. Intense, rich, penetrating flavors suggesting sweet Bing cherries and chocolate, espresso coffee and dark tobacco; well-balanced and full-bodied, with classic Cabernet richness and complexity. A robust, well-built, and beautiful wine.

"Beautiful Cabernet. Has all the big, ripe juicy fruit and lavish oak of most Napa Cabs, plus elegance and harmonious balance, the hallmarks of tasteful, knowledgeable winemaking. Gets better and more interesting as it warms in the glass."

  A Winning Cabernet - 1/13/2008
I would buy this wine again

Beautiful ruby coloration with a very lively, inviting aroma with black cherry perhaps. The aroma cannot be overstated on this one - it is very nice. This is a joy from the instant it hits the tongue, and it seems to be well balanced and smooth -- I agree with another reviewer's "clean & crisp" comment, which is not to be mistaken for "simple." It's wonderful!

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.
