"Iodine, seashells and black cherries with hints of pencil. Medium-bodied with medium tannins and a creamy, refined finish. Shows tension and finesse. A blend of 87% cabernet sauvignon with cabernet franc, merlot and petit verdot. Drink or hold." —James Suckling

"Medium bodied and almost silky, this Cabernet Sauvignon delivers the range of interest and classic character so intrinsic to Napa Cabernet. Black fruits and graphite, resinous and savory herbs, and a accent of octopus ink make for a complex of flavors that has intrigue as much as refinement. Will continue to gain complexity with age, and can be enjoyed now with decanting and a meal." —Wine Enthusiast
