"Black cherry and cranberry, vanilla roasting on an open fire, plum and other exotic aromas all hint at a deep and complex wine. The wine’s entry is bright and deceptively soft, hiding the underlying structure of firm fine-grain tannins. Layers of fruit with pleasing notes of toast and chocolate envelop the palate. The finish is lingering and savory, inviting another sip of our 2010 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon."

"Richer and deeper on the nose than the Red Willow example, offering ripe black raspberry and chocolate aromas accented by herbs and pepper. Juicy and intense, with lovely lift to the raspberry fruit. This wine's captivating sugar/acid balance gives it a succulent quality, and the long finish leaves the taste buds vibrating."

"Good saturated dark red. Cassis, blackberry, blueberry and licorice on the youthfully medicinal nose. Dense, suave and sweet, with lovely inner-mouth black fruit perfume and a cool note of licorice. Flavorful but very subtle wine, finishing with broad but serious tannins and lovely aromatic persistence."-Stephan Tanzer
