the vineyard isn't well known, but it's on pritchard hill, near much more famous sources of cabernet. it's a deceptive wine, so rich and flamboyant in sweet, jammy blackberries and cherries, chocolate and licorice, you want to drink the whole bottle. yet it has the tannin-acid balance to age, possibly for a long time. made from 100% cab, yet produced in tiny quantities, it shows the pritchard signature of youthful deliciousness combined with ageability.
