This is rich and smooth, with elongated tannins and a clear precision in the playing off of different elements – the blueberry and bilberry flavours are vibrant and generous, set in relief against eucalyptus, charred oak and a fresh current of acidity. Organically farmed, hugely promising of what can be achieved on this site. 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot.

Linear and tight with generosity and fine- grained tannins with lots of subtle blackberries, hazelnuts and dried flowers. So supple. Lovely now.

The 2015 year delivered California vintners and growers across the state another stellar vintage. Despite a lighter crop—compared to last year—from one of the earliest seasons on record, wildfires during harvest in some regions and a fourth year of drought, quality is high across the board. A mild winter causing early bud break, followed by protracted bloom and unseasonably cool weather in spring, contributed to smaller grape clusters and variable crop size.
