The evolution of this wine has been phenomenal since I tasted it in barrel a year ago with the same black cherry, plum and citrus character but with a turn to orange leaf, dark Chinese tea, and mushroom. Full body, fine and velvety tannins with a touch of dust to the texture. So much chocolate and fruit undertones with forest floor and hints of tobacco, too. The mouthfeel and complexity are seductive. Better from 2022 but a joy to taste. Spring 2018 release.

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, which was aged for 17 months in 45% new French oak, is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The wine is dense purple, with sweet cedar wood, unsmoked cigar tobacco, crème de cassis, and black raspberries in a classic, almost St.-Julien/Pauillac style. This emerged from a valley floor vineyard on the west side of Napa, where Christian Moueix told me that 2014 was characterized by generally slightly higher than average temperatures for the summer with only minor heat spikes in June and July. August and September went off without a hitch, and the harvest took place during the month of September. This full-bodied wine will hit its peak in 3-5 years and last for 25-30. - Robert Parker

This bright, fresh and concentrated red has a creamy texture and is completely harmonious on the palate, with lush, forward fruit. Meanwhile the 2015, which will be released in 2019, is just about perfect – all cigar box and blue plums.

The warmed dark currant, bitter plum and blackberry paste flavors are enhanced by light tobacco, singed alder and loam accents. The tobacco note asserts itself through the finish, with the fruit content in reserve for now. Shows sneaky acidity, and would benefit from some cellaring. Best from 2022 through 2032. 1,400 cases made. — JM

Aromas of blackberry and black cherry mix with notes of truffles, tobacco, and hints of cedar. On the palate, there is a deft balance between savory and sweet- almost more Bordeaux in style than a typical rich, voluptuous Napa Cabernet. The extra year of age for the vines seems to have done well, as there is an elevated level of complexity compared to the 2013 this was tasted next to. With excellent lift on the finish thanks to a core of acidity and vibrant minerality, this will benefit from another 3-5 years in the cellar, and then should impress for another two decades thereafter.
