Axr Description

Winemaker Notes

Deep, dark shiny oil with touches of magenta and mashed strawberry. Beautiful flowery nose of rose petals, lavender and pencil shaving with black pepper, blackberry and blueberry, lingering on roast beef and paprika. Dense entrance evolving on a layered mid-palate, lingering on fresh granular tannins with touches of dark fruit and violet.

Critical Acclaim

D 97
Decanter
Winemaker Jean Hoefliger sources grapes from the Denali Vineyard and V Madrone in St Helena, Furtado and Sleeping Lady in Yountville, and Ballard Vineyards on Spring Mountain. Restrained on the nose at first, with subtle dark fruits coated in fine graham cracker crumb, sweet cedar and chocolate. But the wine builds on the palate revealing dried strawberry, ripe boysenberry and traces of blue fruit, herbs and mineral flourishes, enrobed in palate-etching tannins. A tremendous wine.

Jeb Dunnuck
A perfumed nose of blackberries, dark cherries, earth, licorice, wild flowers and spice box. Medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine tannins and fresh acidity. Balanced and layered with classic cabernet sauvignon character. Flavorful, fresh finish. Drink from 2023.

Wine Spectator

Shows steeped plum and blackberry fruit that is dark and brooding in profile, while bittersweet cocoa, warm cast iron and tobacco notes bear down on the finish. This has energy, but you need to like that big, dense style to dig this.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon gives up notes of minted blackberries, cassis and chocolate box with a waft of tobacco. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is chock-full of bright, black fruit flavors with a solid foundation of fine-grained tannins, finishing long and juicy.
