Wine Notes

“This Cabernet-inspired blend shows the sanguine, focused fruit and shapely tannins that we’ve come to expect from the sandy soils and slightly cooler mesoclimate of these outstanding vineyard sites.”

Matt Dees’ Winemaker Notes

“Utterly fascinating nose mixing lifted black fruit, savory green herbs and dark notes of grilled bread, espresso and anise. Fills the palate with bright red fruit and black plum. A constant play between sweet and savory. Gentle and dusty tannins lead the way into an incredibly long and precise finish. Mulberry sweetness and a wonderful tension between tannic structure and bright acidity. Balanced and refined, a study in elegance.”

“Another good value, the 2014 Paring Red (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% each of Merlot and Cabernet Franc and the palate Petit Verdot) offers plenty of blackcurrant, toasted spice, graphite and licorice notes in a medium-bodied, chewy style. Drink it over the coming 7-8 years.”
