Winery Review: 92 points, Wilfred Wong. Taking Lodi into a whole new level, the finely-tuned '09 Gen 5 Cabernet shows intricate and complex flavors; ripe for sure, yet classy and refined; long finish.


My Review: Right off the bat I can see that the color of this wine is darker than the precious Palo Negro, Cabernet Sauvignon we just tried. On the nose I get a much strong smell of alcohol, but I also get a level of oak. After tasting the wine I found it dry with heat on the back end.
