Tasting Notes
Color Deep garnet, dense and concentrated to the rim
Nose It smells expensive. Cedar chest, leather book binding, rich mahogany, and high-cacao Tournon chocolate. Black currant and cassis give way to blackberry and dark, dark fruit, framed by a full spice box — pipe tobacco, clove, black peppercorn, coriander and cardamom. Dried herbs add depth and dimension.
Palate Well-structured acid: it starts lean, then broadens across the palate in a very Napa, very Rutherford way. A complete wine — big entry, full mid-palate, and a rich, trailing, lengthy finish. Built for a tomahawk steak, for brisket smoked down to burnt ends, and for a Churchill afterwards.
Site Notes
78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc from the estate Armaa.N Vineyard, Willow Creek — a complete, Rutherford-like Bordeaux blend.
Critic Reviews

Jeb Dunnuck
“A Cabernet-dominant blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Cabernet Franc aged 22 months in 67% new French oak barriques, the 2023 Armaa.N Estate sports a deep ruby/plum hue and classic aromatics of currants, sappy tobacco, and lead pencil. It's full-bodied on the palate, with some chocolaty oak, solid mid-palate depth, and ripe, polished tannins. Beautifully done and a serious, age-worthy red, I wouldn't be surprised to see it keep for at least two decades. Drink 2026-2046.”
