Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
An extraordinary wine. From the cooler west side of the appellation, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Syrah offers a little something from each variety. The overall effect is a concerto, vibrant and complex. Huge oak, but the expressive fruit wears it well. Beautiful tannins coat the palate like a mink coat.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A difficult wine to fall in love with. Opens with odd notes of canned vegetables, chocolate, white pepper and gym socks. Drinks a whole lot better, with pretty fruit and a smooth texture, but the disturbing aroma is so off-putting, it’s hard to get past it. A Syrah-Cabernet Sauvignon blend in almost equal proportions.
