"Lavish oak aromas and flavors bring toasted bread, wood smoke, vanilla and clove notes to this full-bodied and moderately tannic wine. It is well backed by black-cherry and blackberry flavors, and is velvety in texture. - JIM GORDON"

"This wine is a blend of 75% Napa along with 25% Lodi fruit; Zinfandel 57%, Petit Verdot – 14%, Petit Sirah 12%, Syrah 7%, Merlot 5% and Cabernet Sauvignon 5%. Aged 24 months 60% American Oak medium toast, and 40% French Oak medium toast. 14.5% ABV.



"This rich, velvety, mature and full-bodied wine was made from 93°/o Cabernet Sauvignon. Concentrated blackberry and blueberry flavors are generously accented by milk chocolate. While rather tannic, the mouthfeel is full but not tight. -J.G. "
