A powerhouse Napa Cabernet that marries intensity with surprising finesse.

The nose opens with layers of ripe blackberry compote and dark chocolate ganache, followed by hints of cedar and roasted coffee beans. On the palate, this wine delivers serious weight without sacrificing elegance—concentrated cassis flavors meld seamlessly with vanilla-tinged oak. The tannins remain structured yet approachable, leading to a finish that lingers with espresso and dark fruit notes. This 2000 vintage has reached beautiful drinking maturity while retaining excellent aging potential through 2015.
