The classic "Rutherford dust" fine-grained, supple tannins identified with this region enable this wine to be enjoyable young but make no doubt those that cellar this wine will be greatly rewarded. This wine is one of a series of wines we will be producing with one of Napa Valley’s premier grape growing families. It’s a match made in Heaven. They own and farm thousands of Napa Valley’s best dirt, but have only a small brand of their own.

Fantastic!
Enjoyed this cab immensely while dining on a medium rare filet mignon with bleu cheese crumbled on top. I consider this cab very similar to Cakebread’s 2008 cab which is one of my all time favorites. I hope this one ages as well as the 2008 Cakebread and I’m just as impressed in two years. Another great job Cameron and team! I stocked up at Costco and hope I can restrain myself from drinking it all before 2015.

Big nose, dry finish
Really strong aromas in this wine - jam, chocolate, and a trace of spice. Medium tannins, with dark fruit flavors and a bit of chocolate. I'd like to drink this again with savory meats.

bold cab
Forward tannins, moderate finish, vanilla and strawberry aromas, with tobacco and plum flavors. Solid Cab.

forward tannins, smooth fruits
Great cab. Dark fruit flavors with good tannins that go down easy.

Lovely Cab
Had this at a tasting. All sorts of vanilla, toast, and chocolatey/coffee aromas and dark fruit flavors. Great tannins.
