Critic Reviews
“Based on 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 12% Petit Verdot, aged 20 months in French oak (37% new), the 2023 The Secret shows pure cassis, sappy green herbs, tobacco, and cedar pencil notes. This inky-hued effort has terrific purity and freshness, as well as intensity in its aromatics. Medium to full-bodied, with ripe tannins, integrated acidity, and a seamless, structured style, there's a touch of old school California Cabernet done with purity and precision. Drink 2026-2038.”
