Winemaker Notes
The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is full-bodied and balanced with savory aromas of black cherry, cocoa and baking spice. Concentrated flavors of rich black cherry, blackberry, spice and toasted oak unfold gracefully across the palate with well-integrated fruit and tannins, and a long finish.
This rich, fruit-forward wine calls for succulent, flavorful dishes such as grilled tenderloin with roasted shallots, creamy bleu cheeses, pepper-rubbed pork chops or duck breast with grilled plums.
The Cabernet Sauvignon is crafted from grapes grown in vineyard sites throughout the Napa Valley, each adding a layer of nuanced complexity to the final blend. The 2012 vintage includes fruit from Napa Valley's premier vineyards in Atlas Peak, Oak Knoll District, Rutherford, Oakville, Diamond Mountain, Stags Leap District, Mount Veeder, Spring Mountain and Howell Mountain.

James Suckling
Aromas of blueberry, blackberry and black licorice. Full body, round and silky tannins and a fresh and beautiful finish. Needs a year or two to soften, but impressive.

Attractively priced, this is a concentrated wine, offering bright, soft layers of dark cherry and cassis, with a slight taste of dark chocolate. Providing everything one needs in a big red wine, it ends powerfully in dusty tannins. Editors' Choice.
