A dense and rich nose of blackberry jam, roasted coffee beans, bramble berries and sweet spices. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins and acidity, displaying notes of roasted blood plums, figs, violets and blueberry compote. Drink or hold.

Seductive oak-spice aromas and a rich but gentle palate make this full-bodied wine compelling and delicious. Cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg and cigar-box scents lead to ripe blueberry and mocha flavors and relatively soft tannins.
2014 Latigo / 94 Pts / Wine Review Online
Viscous, fruity, hedonistic and just immensely enjoyable, this red late harvest wine is exactly what you want in a sweet dessert, namely, pleasure. A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon / 90 Pts / International Wine Review
The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon shows earth and dark red berries on the nose. It’s a bit lighter in weight with less fruit than the younger vintages of this wine, but it’s well balanced with firm, round tannins. Fruit and oak are well integrated, and it’s drinking nicely now.

2017 Petite Sirah / The Syrah Queen
Byjuliek
This is a fantastic Petite Sirah from Lake County. Nearly oxblood in color, aromas of ripe blackberry and nutmeg give way to nuanced flavor profile. Notes of deep, dark chocolate, raspberry and spice give way to rich, velvety tannins. Pair with grilled steak with peppercorn sauce or chocolate souffle.
