This wine is all bramble and brawn. High-octane in power and ripeness, it has a juicy core of mocha-laced blackberry fruit. Pencil shavings and gravel notes add a tease of minerality amongst all that richness.

A leaner style of Cabernet, this tastes of chocolate and coffee, chewy and dusty with a streak of black pepper. It's one of the winery's upper-tier offerings, hailing from Howell Mountain fruit rather than Napa's valley floor.
