Reviews and Ratings

Alana L rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec grapes were hand harvested at night and aged 27 months in 100% new French oak. Deep ruby in color with floral, herbal (bay leaves), tobacco, coffee and bright cherry notes on the nose and palate, leaving way to subtle notes of honey, blood orange, cola (cherry coke) and a light animal / meat edge. The mouthwatering acidity is both refreshing and surprising for so much new oak. It’s nuanced, complex, velvety and rich with the beautiful structure from the velvety tannins and fresh acidity.

Aged steak, a rustic ‘gratin dauphinois’ and even raclette served with charcuterie would pair beautifully her.

In Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon is often called the King of Grapes, accounting for more than 50% of the region’s planted acreage grown in all 16 sub regions. To many, Napa Valley and Cabernet Sauvignon are almost synonymous.

Tasted as part of the 'California Wine Month: Napa Valley’s King of Grapes - Cabernet Sauvignon’, a panel discussion and tasting to explore the quality, personality, versatility and diversity of the region’s signature grape, bringing together some of its most celebrated winemakers to discuss their insights and experience with the variety; moderated by Master Sommelier and speaker Andrea Robinson and California Wines Canada and featuring panelists Marcus Notaro, Winemaker Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars; Michael Scholz, Winemaker, St. Supery and Priyanka French, Winemaker, Signorello Estates.

Cheers!
