Critic reviews
94/100Wine Enthusiast
“A rich, reliable Paso Robles Cabernet with black-cherry compote, caramel, clove, smooth tannins, fudge, baking spice and gingerbread notes.”
91/100Wine Enthusiast
“Dense and unctuous, with caramel, black cherry and chai aromas; the palate is bold and nearly sweet with strawberry preserve, vanilla and caramel flavors.”
