Hidden Gem: This wine has aromas of freshness, ripe dark berries, toasted oak, coriander, brown sugar, and notes of Sandalwood on the nose; the flavors are concentrated, and Black currant confiture, dried marjoram, and Black licorice are interlaced with black tea leaves, green olive, and supple silky dry tannins. Decant and pair with grilled bison burgers. — Tonya Pitts

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.

2022 Block Three Cabernet / 93 Points / Wine Enthusiast
This wine is a special bottling that is different each year. It is unique because of the elevation, the soil, and the location. The aromatics are rich, Blackberry, Blueberry, cedar, and notes of caramelized vanilla beans on the nose; the flavors are concentrated Boysenberry, red currant confiture, dried thyme, intermingled with chicory, and leathery tannins on the mid-palate creating a mouth-watering finish. Decant and pair with smoked Maitake mushrooms, turnip puree, Black truffle jus
2017 Cabernet Franc / 95 points / Tasting Panel
The winery’s first release of this variety shows remarkable success in bringing out the best of its nature. Crushed stone and dried violets merge with a blackberry chocolate wash. Farmed with Biodynamic certification “closed system” on their 180-acre mountain estate. Slick and opulent.
2021 Cabernet Sauvignon / 90 Points / James Suckling
The nose is concentrated yet lifted and fresh, with notes of dark cherry compote, violets, beets and spices. The palate is full-bodied with finely integrated tannins and acidity, showing layers of blackcurrants, mocha, cassis and sweet spices. Drink now.
2019 Cabernet Sauvignon / Isaac Baker
Medium purple color. Deep but tart aromas of blueberry and black cherries, with complex, deep and spicy tones: tar, mocha, sage, sweet red pepper, black pepper and balsamic glaze. The palate is full but smooth and, like the others, this wine’s acidity is really nice. Tangy plums and juicy black currant fruit blends well with leather, paprika, black pepper, spicy tobacco, mint. A lot going on, and I’d like to see this in five or six years. Cab Sauv with 2% Petit Verdot, aged in 100% French oak.
