Tasting Notes
Brooding fruits weave across the palate, black berries, plums. The spice is well integrated, with subtle clove and black cardamom complementing the cola/sarsaparilla sweetness. Walnut texture and pecans flavours beckon. The acid runs seamlessly through the wine providing length and balance, while remaining tightly coiled. Felt like tannins provide ample structure. A wine of class and distinction, at this early stage a vigorous decant is required. Will surely reward a long spell in the cellar.

Vintage
The 2020 season in Napa Valley began with a warm, dry winter. Decent rainfall and cooler weather didn’t arrive until the end of March. Mild spring conditions provided a great early start to the growing season. Summer was characterised by very cool mornings and very warm days. The vintage proved to be one of the most challenging in history, with COVID restrictions and wildfires causing a range of logistical challenges. Nevertheless, our winemakers have leveraged small yields of high-quality, concentrated grapes to craft cabernet sauvignon of exceptional quality and intensity balanced by excellent acidity.
