The winemaking included only French oak barrels, with 50% of them new, which provides for inviting aromas of Rainier cherry, warm cocoa and white pepper. The payday comes between the gums where there’s a smooth entry of black cherry and chocolate with fine-grained tannins, raspberry acidity and cinnamon bark. It’s a well-balanced and pleasing Cab.

Rating: Outstanding!

Production: 250 cases

Alcohol: 14.5%
