Reviews
90+ST
"Good medium ruby-red. Complex, expressive aromas of currant, raspberry, blackberry, chocolate, game and espresso. Smooth and sweet on entry and in the middle palate, with a distinct gamey quality. Then finishes with fairly substantial tongue-coating tannins that call for at least a couple years of patience. These vines typically produce small berries and thus a relatively high ratio of skins to juice, says Lee, and thus the wine has a tendency to be noticeably tannic. But here the fruit seems riper than that of 2000."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
