Product Description
JD100 "There are around 1,000 cases of the flagship 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (the other releases are in the range of 150-200 cases), and if you see a bottle, you should buy it. Absolutely incredible aromatics of ripe black and blue fruits, tobacco leaf, espresso roast, and violets give way to a full-bodied, majestic, multi-dimensional wine that has ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges, and riveting purity, focus, and precision. Give bottles 4-5 years to integrate its oak, and this beauty will shine over the following two decades or more." JD Dec 2023
DR100 "Blending in wine is an art, and Sam Kaplan, who created this blend before bottling his single-vineyard wines, demonstrates true mastery. With 1,000 cases produced, this wine impresses with its balance, complexity, and sheer deliciousness. It boasts a solid framework, opening with black and red-toned fruits complemented by a medley of savoury spices. Full-bodied and framed by pixelated, very fine-grained tannins that coat the palate, it showcases a purity of fruit and a harmonious balance of power and elegance. This wine is built for the long term, rewarding patience in the cellar. A testament to exceptional vineyard sources, smart picking decisions, and skilled winemaking, it achieves a remarkable, captivating and enduring equilibrium." JC for DR Nov 2024
