"The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Houyi Vineyard comes from the Nine Suns estate on Pritchard Hill and spent 16 months in new French oak. It has a wonderful purity in its crème de cassis, graphite, white flowers, lead pencil, and liquid rock-like minerality. Deep, full-bodied, incredibly pure, and balanced, it's one of the most complete, elegant, layered wines in the lineup."
