Testimony to the quality of fruit to be had from this amazing Atlas Peak vineyard. A real, honest-to-God Cabernet celebrating its Cabernet-ness without being flamboyant or blowsy. A dense, slightly reluctant nose of blackberry, cassis, baker's chocolate and tobacco leaf/tea leaf. Very welcoming and accommodating entry that lays down a tasty path of forest fruit, black currant, mocha and cedar with upright and grippy tannins. Full-bodied, precisely structured mountain fruit goodness. Still a baby, but with huge potential. Sub-1,000 case production. Limited.

Inky garnet in color, this wine has a rich nose of cherry and floral aromas. In the mouth it is a lovely, balanced concoction of earth and plum flavors wrapped around a core of solid cherry fruit. Nice acids and sandpaper-like tannins lift the wine into a very pleasant finish.

A flawed bottle may be affected by cork taint, heat (maderized), oxidation, or excessive sulfur. Additionally, some people consider wines tainted by Brettanomyces (Brett), a non-spore forming genus of yeast, a flaw although there is much controversy surrounding the subject.
