"Expressive, balanced and elegant, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a delicious example of the easy sophistication Napa is capable of, beyond its endless charm. A luscious core of black raspberries, red currants, and black plum meet subtle, savory undertones with a touch of smoke, earth, and dark chocolate. The fruit is even more expansive on the palate with rich, balanced layers and well-integrated oak. Enjoy this food-friendly wine with grilled lamb chops, seared duck breast, or charred steak."

"Deep, brooding red color with purple hues; a truly rich expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from winemaker Jean Hoefliger, who cut his teeth at Fifth-Growth Château Lynch-Bages and is the undisputed master of power and extraction, capable of donning a bit of Bordeaux wizardry over his New World wines. The richness and power of this Cab is underscored by Hoefliger's ability to weave in layers of finesse. Fragrant red berry aromas, lofty cinnamon spice, and cedar give way to a textured palate of fine-grained tannins, woven around a velvety core of bright raspberries, candied cherries and bruised blackberries, all mingling with lilting notes of cassis and crushed violets. This is a wine of sheer pleasure and would make for a great bottle at just about any occasion."
