Wine Details
Absolutely explodes out of the glass with a soaring perfumed nose of cassis, purple flowers, and plum underscored by cocoa nibs and French oak. Phenomenal upon entry, the wine is strikingly balanced, with beautiful structure and delineation of purple fruits, cherries, and raspberries that drink like mountain or hillside fruit. The tannins and finish exhibit everything we love about the integration of French oak and Napa Cabernet.

Lot 701 comes to us from a family estate on the west side of Oak Knoll, home to grapes planted in phenomenal dirt and produced by a winemaking team boasting first-class talent and pedigree (and scores in the upper 90s by Parker, if that tickles your fancy). Originally slated for a $130/bottle program, this wine showcases some of the best French oak I’ve seen all year, and drinks like a mountain/hillside wine due to the incredible drainage of those alluvial vineyard soils.

Great buy
While this wine will only get better with time we decanted and enjoyed a bottle last night. It got better during the evening and is very smooth with a fantastic nose. Multiple tasting notes. Highly recommend.

Excellent Cab at great value
This is a terrific Cab; very drinkable now with balance and flavor. The smoothness and fruit notes come forward after less than an hour in the glass. Excellent value!

Great wine
This Cab is fabulous! So deep and rich and dry, just like we like our wines. We ordered some Merlot as well, and this Cab is so much better. Very very good wine and great value!

Great Value
As with all CH cabs, this one really opened up after a 2-3 hour decant and showed lovely balance and depth.
