2016 Passing By
75% Estate Cabernet Sauvignon | 17% Estate Petit Verdot | 6% Estate Merlot | 2% Petite Sirah
"Another inky colored wine is the 2016 Passing By, composed of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Petit Verdot and the rest Merlot and Petite Sirah. Blackberries, graphite, tobacco leaf, and gravelly minerality all emerge from this dense, powerful, pedal-to-the-metal effort." - Jeb Dunnuck 11/29/2018
"Glass-staining ruby. Expressive aromas of cherry liqueur, cassis, dark chocolate and incense. Densely packed, but lively as well, with hints of candied flowers, candied licorice and black pepper complementing sweet red- and blackcurrant and cherry-vanilla flavors. Finishes with a strong echo of juicy dark fruit, a touch of florality and velvety tannins that fold quickly into the wine's plush, persistent fruit." - Josh Raynolds | VINOUS
