Jeb Dunnuck, 97 Points 

"The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Bone Ash Vineyard comes from a vineyard in Calistoga and spent 19 months in 85% new French oak. This is sensational stuff that boasts a huge nose of blueberries, blackberry liqueur, espresso, scorched earth and chocolate. Ripe and concentrated, yet also pure, balanced, with ripe, present tannin, this is an exotic, hedonistic, seriously impressive." 

Wine Enthusiast, 95 Points 

"Perfumed and pretty, this tastes of cherry cordial, with additional supple, well-integrated tones of fresh red cherry and cassis. Persistent in bright, underlying acidity, it has a powerful midpalate of weighty tannin and oak. The succulent finish is densely packed in black pepper and clove." 

Wine Advocate, 94 Points 

"Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Bone Ash Vineyard has a crushed black currants, red currants and plums-scented nose with hints of kirsch, pencil shavings, dried herbs and spice box. The full-bodied palate is firm and grainy with fresh and vibrant black fruit and earthy layers lingering long into the finish." 

Wine Spectator, 94 Points 

"Creamy textured, with a smooth entry and supple mouthfeel, tilting toward black licorice, currant, dark berry and mocha flavors, ending with firm, fine-grained tannins." 

Alcohol: 14.8%
