Occasional wine note
From the makers of Dominus, this wine delivers a veritable smorgasbord of flavors and aromas in a complex maze of ripe dark fruits, baking spices, dried herbs, and well-integrated tannins. This 98-pointer is a star, but we think it will be in even better in 5+ years. Fantastic!

James Suckling
Aromas of tangerine zest and blackcurrants, with the perfume of fresh flowers. Full-bodied with a dusty texture to the tannins. Gorgeous. Nuanced and pure. Cabernet sauvignon with a touch of cabernet franc and petit verdot. Needs three or four years to open.

Jeb Dunnuck
Another incredibly successful 2020, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon offers a big, rich, powerful profile offering ample chocolaty dark fruits, some tobacco, eucalyptus, and mint herb nuances, an expansive, layered texture, and building yet polished and ripe tannins. It's a beautiful wine that should age gracefully for 15-20 years.
