Fresh blackberries, layered with dark chocolate, and baking spice. The palate opens with rich warm fruit notes that are interwoven with precise tannins. Sourced primarily from hillside vineyards the wine is structured and full bodied, but with an elegant balance of tannin and a creamy density. Flavors of ripe black cherries, chocolate, espresso. Hints of minerality and nutmeg spice emerge on a long lingering finish. While inviting now, this wine will grow in complexity as flavors marry with time. Enjoy now through 2026 and beyond. 64% Crystal Springs Vineyard, 27% Hershey Vineyard, 6% Lotus Vineyard, 3% Helms Vineyard. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon" 1161 cases produced. | Dana Estates
Medium to full body and firm and polished tannins. Very long and poised. Excellent length. Fabulous focus and beauty. This needs two or three years to soften, but it's already superb. | James Suckling, 97 points
...Loads of blueberry and blackberry fruit with a hint of creosote, wood spice and camphor are offered in this deep, medium to full bodied, layered and voluptuously textured wine. It is pure, sexy and ideal for drinking over the next 15+ years. | Robert Parker for Wine Advocate, 93 points
