Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A deft touch of wood sets off pungent green fruit, pear, lemon rind, stone and lime/grapefruit hints. There is excellent size, weight and concentration to the mineral-inflected large-scaled flavors that terminate in a chiseled finish of crystalline purity. This is really impressive but note well..

"The 2004 Champoux Vineyard is 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, 22% Merlot, and 9% Petit Verdot. It spent 21 months in 35% new French oak. Less marked by oak and more complex than the Sorella bottling, it has a splendid bouquet of cedar, tobacco, vanilla, leather, cassis, and black..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2009 Continuum comes across as much more understated next to the 2008. It has plenty of silkiness and finesse, but less of the size and shape of its older sibling. Dark cherries, espresso, exotic spices and licorice are woven together in a fabric of notable elegance and harmony. The 2009..

Cellar/Tasting Notes

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The sawdust and graphite aromas turn to cherry and raspberry flavors in this vibrant, complex red. A beam of sweet fruit imparts energy and resonance, carrying this to a long, expansive aftertaste."
