RECENT NEWS:
Wine Spectator Magazine awards our '06 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon a rating of 90 points. In his review, James Laube wrote...
"Aromas of loamy earth, currant and mocha-laced oak are full-bodied and intense. Still chewy,
tight and compact, yet this is a wine of substance, depth and persistence. Needs time. Best
from 2010 through 2017. 75 cases made. –JL"
