Tasting Notes
In October 2025, Cristaldi & Co. rated this Cabernet Sauvignon blend 94 points out of 100. "The wine showcases a host of crunchy red and black-toned fruit character, graphite notes, and dried herbs, creating a dynamic and captivating profile. This is a dynamite wine, offering immediate appeal with the structure and aging potential to evolve beautifully over time." - Review by Jonathan Cristaldi
