Calarcadia Vyd. Cabernet Sauvignon  |

| VM 97 (1/2020): The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Calarcadia Vineyard is dense, plush and super-expressive. Super-ripe red cherry, red plum, white flowers, mint, blood orange and cinnamon all run through the 2017. I am really impressed with the wine's freshness and nuance, both of which took considerable effort to achieve. Medium in body, exotic and alluring, the 2017 is one of the best wines of the year. Sadly, production is just above 200 cases—which is about half of normal. (Drink between 2022-2037). Antonio Galloni. |

WA 96 (10/2014): The compelling 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from Clones 7, 33 and 337. It’s 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in a combination of 50% new Darnajou and the rest Taransaud. The wine hit 15.1% natural alcohol, and 285 cases were produced. This is a great mountain-style Cabernet Sauvignon with an inky purple color, a gorgeous nose of scorched earth, wet gravel, charcoal, blackberry and crème de cassis. Very full-bodied and exceptionally pure and deep, this is multidimensional with skyscraper texture in a fabulous Cabernet Sauvignon that is still young with tremendous upside. It can be approached now because it’s very much in keeping with the style of 2012, but five years of bottle age will do wonders, and I expect the wine will still be going strong in 25 or 30 years.
VM 95 (5/2024): The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon marries the richness favored by winemaker Mark Herold with the more restrained style of the year. The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon that is maturing into a delicate, elegant wine. Red-toned fruit, graphite, blood orange, rose petal and mint are some of the signatures. There's terrific freshness, and also a bit less textural opulence than most wines made here during this period. The 2012 is beautifully done. Antonio Galloni. |

JD 99+ (1/2019): In the same mold as the 2015, yet with even more minerality and purity, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is an incredible mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. With a deep, saturated purple color, insane aromatics of scorched earth, high-class cigar tobacco, dark chocolate, and gravelly minerality, and fabulous depth and concentration on the palate, it’s thrilling wine that’s marginally approachable today, yet short-term cellaring will do it wonders and it will still be singing in 30+ years. It’s a true “wow” wine in every sense.
WA 97+ (10/2018): Very deep purple-black in color, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon offers up fantastically profound notes of baked plums, blackcurrant cordial and blackberry pie with hints of tilled soil, licorice, black truffles, camphor and coffee beans. The palate is very big, concentrated and decadent with loads of spices and earth layers, framed by plush tannins, finishing long with some minerals.
VM 96+ (1/2020): The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is ripe and plummy, with gorgeous inky fruit that conveys a real sense of primary intensity. Dark berries, blueberry jam, mocha, crème de cassis, lavender and mint develop with time in the glass. Unctuous and racy, the 2016 is still a very young wine. The French oak needs time to integrate, but there is so much to look forward to here. Antonio Galloni. |

Heritage Ridge Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon |
$195 |

WA 98 (10/2018): Very deep purple-black in color, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Heritage Ridge features compelling Black Forest cake, warm plums, Christmas pudding and mocha notes with hints of blackberry preserves, star anise, incense and sautéed herbs plus a waft of underbrush. The palate is full, rich, velvety and fresh, with plenty of richness and layers of earth flavors, finishing long and minerally. Liquid decadence.
VM 96+ (1/2020): The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Heritage Ridge is laced with sweet floral notes, raspberry jam, white pepper, mint and savory herbs. Aromatic and lifted, the Heritage Ridge shows a more floral and red-toned character than the Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as a very distinctive and different side of this Diamond Mountain property. Antonio Galloni.
JD 96+ (1/2019): From a different side of the property that consists of deeper, more loamy soils as well as very old vines, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Heritage Ridge reveals a deep purple color and textbook Cabernet notes of green tobacco, chocolate, scorched earth, and blackcurrants. It doesn’t have the ethereal, majestic quality found in the estate Cabernet, but it’s powerful and locked and loaded. It too will keep for 20-25 years. |
