"A potent and gripping Cabernet, this wine's dark floral fruit and dry, mineral-tinged tannins gain intensity and edge from a little volatile acidity, apparent in the scent of flamed orange zest. The texture feels supple, integrating the drier elements into the wine's floral power." - Josh Greene, October 2018
