REVIEWS & PRESS
ROSE
Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
2006
San Francisco Chronicle Best of Class Wine Competition, January 2008
GOLD MEDAL
Connoisseurs’ Guide to California Wine, July 2007
86 Points
"100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark pink color. Fresh and fruity in scent with subtle suggestions of cherries and no sign of candy, this well-balanced, medium-bodied dry rose follows suit on the palate with frontal fruit flavors. It picks up a slight bit of tannic coarseness at the finish and is better saved for service with food rather than simple quaffing."

"Pale and reflective in its rich ruby-pink appearance, this medium-bodied wine offered pronounced berry aromas with dried blackberry refreshing, crisp flavors of dark cherry and spice. The finish was pleasantly velvety, lingering with mild cherry flavors."

"[Its] quite a nice, refreshing sipper. Drinks totally dry and crisp in acids, with rosehip tea and black cherry flavors that finish long and spicy."

CABERNET FRANC
Wine Enthusiast Magazine, April, 2011
92 Points
"A 100%-Cabernet Franc from mountainous El Dorado County! This wine’s crazy good with tons of varietal character — woodsy tannins, touch of green pepper, vials of violets — that’s also packed with plenty of great plum, cassis and savory notes of leather and mocha, all in a memorable package. With plenty of grip and acid, enjoyed over a meal, it gets better by the minute and has the depth to age 5 - 10 years, too." - V.B.
