Wine Enthusiast

This tempting, concentrated yet well-structured wine packs abundant black cherries, black olives, rosemary and dark chocolate flavors into a velvety, strong frame of tannins and subtle acidity that holds it rather tightly. It should drink best from 2028–2040.

Notes of toasted spices, black coffee and chocolate with dark plums and blackberries. Medium- to full-bodied with sleek tannins and a juicy dark-berry backbone. Tasty and firm at the end.

Decanter

From the Gaspare Vineyard in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley, this is an opulent Napa Cabernet. A nice showing in a challenging vintage. Alluring aromas of pure black fruits, herbs, oak and baking spices. Full-bodied with saturated black fruits redolent of blackberry jam and black currant, with potent tannins, and a long, kirsch-driven finish.
