capture continues to make progress in interpreting their vineyard located in this new appellation, a high elevation overlooking alexander valley. based on cabernet sauvignon, this bordeaux-style blend is young now, with hard tannins that interfere with the fruit. the fruit is intensely concentrated with cherry compote and cassis flavors, while new oak's vanilla and toast are proportionate to the wine's volume. a worthy followup to the 2009, and a wine to cellar for 8–10 years, if not longer.
