Tasting Notes
Compact in form and streamlined. Initial oak note gives familiar appearance but true charm lies beyond. Cassis, graphite, violet, and herbal notes. Retro-nasal fresh riparian/resin notes: willow, cottonwood.
Color Deep garnet with purple hues
Palate Focused and direct, with a long evolution building layers of complexity and charm. Noble, well-defined in form - shapely and poised. Power and direction while remaining harmonious and complete. Finer-grained yet present tannins at the finish — more energizing, excellent with food. Can still go further in evolution. Kind tannin. Approachable but does not reveal full story. Sophisticated and confident — while not showing full depth expected in the future (young vines), surprisingly complex and complete.
Pairs with
- Dry-aged steak
- Lamb rack
- Truffle dishes
Critic Reviews
“Bright garnet with purple edges; opening aromas of confectionary, candied fruit, stollen, and Christmas cake, followed by hints of truffle and wet earth. Undertones of barnyard are supported by rum-soaked cherries, forest-fruit jam, and Scandinavian berries. The finish is marked by minerality and a rye toast character. 57% Cabernet Franc and 43% Cabernet Sauvignon.”
“This is a different caliber of wine, a testament to the meticulous nature of this new brand. The blend of 57% Cabernet Franc and 43% Cabernet Sauvignon begins with intense aromas of blackberry and caramel on the nose. The palate grows more complex with brighter fruit flavors, peppery spice, light hints of tobacco and espresso. Most compelling are the feathery, lingering tannins. Drink now-2043. — Matt Kettmann”
