A powerful, full-flavored red that offers abundant cherry, rose petal and iron aromas followed by densely concentrated red and black fruit flavors. It’s full-bodied, sturdily tannic and balanced by good acidity for freshness. Raspberries, minerals, toasted cedar and wild herbs. Drinkable now, but best from 2029. ~ Jim Gordon

From the winery’s biodynamic-certified estate vineyard reaching elevations as high as 2,200 feet, this is a highly aromatic red with a perfume of chocolate-covered cherry and new leather. On the palate, the grip is firm and dusty, Italian herbs, iron and taut acidity settle atop a mineral base.
2015 Cabernet Sauvignon / 93 Pts / Tasting Panel
Deep garnet color and a lush nose of berry and oak. Smooth, juicy and tangy, with crisp berry flavors and bright acidity; long and charming.
2015 Cabernet Sauvignon / 90 / Wine Enthusiast
This immense wine is wrapped tightly in tannins, holding the black currant and black cherry flavors firmly in check while a drying sensation puckers the palate. It has good focus and concentration underneath all that, which bodes well for aging.

This full-bodied wine brings together flavors of black cherry and black olive, with substantial spiciness from oak and moderate tannins for a lip-smacking texture. Hints of vanilla, cedar and clove accompany the black fruit notes, adding complexity and interest.
2015 Cabernet Sauvignon / 92 / International Wine Review
Saturated ruby. The bouquet reveals explosive cassis and cedar aroma. The palate is silky and dense with sweet, expansive dark fruit flavors and a light earthy note. Well focused and tightly structured with still firm tannins finishing with lingering rich dark red fruit notes.
2009 Cabernet a Great Wine in Fredric Koeppel’s look back at 2020
This annual post looks back at all the wines I wrote about in the previous year and singles out 50 that I thought were great wines. “Great” doesn’t necessarily imply the most profound, though several of these are as profound as wine gets; nor does it necessarily mean that these are the world’s famed wines intended for laying down in cellars for long aging. I don’t usually encounter such wines anyway.
