big, rich, and dramatic are just a few words that describe this 100% cabernet grown on the low-yielding estate vineyard in coombsville. it's lush with black currants, yet bracing in tannins, with a minerality that makes it feel firm and grounded. the barrels are 100% new french oak, lending a savory level of char and vanilla. this is clearly a wine to cellar for a long time. start enjoying it in 2018, and it is likely to develop bottle complexity throughout the 2020s.
