RATINGS

97James Suckling

An array of ripe blackberries and blueberries with notes of sweet vanilla and just-picked violets. Some chocolate and graphite too. Full and intense with layers of fine and polished tannins. Its big on the palate yet sleek and succulent with a deep core of delicious fruit and a long, rich, flavorful finish.

96Jeb Dunnuck

Loads of black cherry, plum, toasted spice, violets, and tobacco notes define the nose, and it's full-bodied, with a round, seamless texture, ripe tannins, and a gorgeous finish.

94The Wine Advocate

...vibrant crème de cassis, blueberry pie and chocolate-covered cherry scents, plus touches of cardamom and forest floor. Full-bodied with lovely freshness and velvety tannins supporting the generous fruit, it has a persistent fragrant earth-tinged finish.

94Vinous / IWC

Blackberry, leather, chocolate, spice, licorice and scorched earth all hit the palate, framed by the insistent, large-scaled tannins that are often referred to as 'Rutherford dust.'

93Wine Spectator

Ripe, with an enticing juicy edge to its boysenberry, blackberry and mulberry fruit flavors, which are carried by licorice root, roasted alder and bittersweet cocoa notes through the finish.

93Wine Enthusiast

This is a thick, grippy wine with tremendous power and weight, a showcase of pillowy tannin and toasted oak with a velvety presence on the palate. Blueberry, graham cracker and tobacco give it a yin-yang of flavor and personality.

REGION

United States, California, Napa Valley, St. Helena

St. Helena AVA is at the northern end of Napa Valley just north of Rutherford and south of Calistoga. It is a relatively warm climate thanks to the Mayacamas Mountains on its western edge, which protect it from Pacific Ocean fog. Out of the 9,000 acres in the appellation, some 1,500 are under vine. The principal grapes grown in St. Helena are the Bordeaux grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. St. Helena is considered prime wine producing territory, and it was one of the first important wine producing regions in northern California. The legendary Charles Krug founded his winery just north of the town of St. Helena in 1873, and today the appellation is home to many prestigious producers, including Abreu, Grace Family and Spottswoode.

TYPE

Red Wine, Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the most widely grown grape varieties, it can be found in nearly every wine growing region. A cross between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a hardy vine that produces a full-bodied wine with high tannins and great aging potential.
