Aromas of blackberry, blueberry and cassis mingle with hints of violet and dark chocolate to seduce and intrigue. The palate is inviting and silky, with a vivid core of cassis that defines every sip, balanced by a backbone of acidity and a smooth tannin structure. This wine's neverending, layered finish makes it enjoyable now or cellarworthy through 2026. Decant prior to serving to further accentuate the aromas and flavors.
Sublime and beautifully structured, with an almost chocolatier derived palate of flavors. Opens with a tantalizing wave of black plums, summer strawberries, toffee, and hints of zesty spices. On the palate, deep red cherry and toasted almonds come wrapped in smooth caramel and creamy chocolate, lightly dusted with dark cocoa accents. The sensually complex mouthfeel arrives in a vibrantly swirling, multi-layered tannic melange, rich in vanilla and roasted marshmallow. Drink now through 2039.

Winemaker Darice Spinelli describes the 2010 Cabernets as showing ripe fruit, with polished tannins and a nice integration of oak. The wines strike a nice balance of being approachable now, but able to evolve beautifully in bottle.
Lone Rider - Deep garnet black color. Aromas of berry compote, brown spices, pepper, and praline with a silky, fruity-yet-dry medium body and a tangy, vanilla nougat, apple skin and citrus kissed finish with fine, chewy tannins. Great structure and table appeal.
