Reviews and Ratings

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

Silky, full, pure, smooth, and full of layered texture, it’s a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petite Verdot, 1% Malbec. Black fruit (cherry, blackberry, ripe plum), herbs and spice on the nose and palate, it has good acidity which balances out the full body and rich tannins resulting in a wine that is rich and complex yet still fresh. Beautifully balanced, could age but… is so beautifully drinkable now does not need to.

Pair with a wagyu or prime burger, rib steak, or even a classic beef tartare.

Tasted as part of the "California Wine Month Master Class: California Then and Now", a master class showcasing classic California wines, regions and range of styles and beautifully hosted by writer and speaker, Elaine Chukan Brown and California Wines.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
