“Outstanding 94+” Rating "This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon has a medium-intensity garnet color and aromas of super ripe blackberry, kirsch and raspberry that interplay with hints of black tea, cocoa, and subtle spice, introducing an elegant and balanced wine from this exceptional vintage. The palate adds lush, expressive dried cherry and forest floor notes characteristic of Cabernet Sauvignon picked at the peak of ripeness with nuances of vanilla and hazelnut gently extracted during aging in 50% new French oak. Bright acidity leads into a fully extracted mid-palate and a smoky lingering sweet fruit finish weighted by firm, nutty tannins that will continue to evolve over the next 5+ years, peaking around 2015 in our estimate." - The Wine Insiders About The Winemaker Winemaker and proprietor Paul Skinner is the proprietor of Terra Spase, a consulting service that offers advice on what grapes to plant where, as well as why and how to plant them.
