Exotic Coombsville hillside terroir notes of violet, cedar, Thai basil, and baking spices blanket a dense, rich core of fruit flavors – blackberry, deep plum, black currant – with a touch of vanilla bean and dark cocoa; deep, chewy tannins provide a voluptuous matrix.
91 points - Wine Spectator
The 2005 growing season was started with a cool wet spring that provided a nice reservoir of moisture to sustain the vines through the long Coombsville growing season. Moderate temperatures continued throughout the summer without notable heat spikes or excessively cool periods. The result was slow, even, ripening and great flavor development. Throughout the North Coast, crops were generous and an aggressive approach to fruit thinning was required to maximize the quality from this near perfect growing season.
