With this bottling of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, fruit from Rockerbox Estate Vineyard becomes the Yin to the Guardian Estate Vineyard’s Yang – coming together in perfect harmony.
Sensuous aromatics layer vanilla, marzipan and graphite without overpowering the intensity of jammy boysenberry and raspberry notes. Lush, juicy texture offers perfect balance to the chewy tannins that follow through the finish.
92 Pts, James Suckling, February 2021
“Blackcurrant, clove, tobacco and asphalt on the nose. Toffee and walnut, too. It’s full-bodied with firm, powdery tannins. Rich and chocolatey. Yet, it shows attractive firmness and austerity at the end. Try from 2022.”
– JAMES SUCKLING, JAMESSUCKLING.COM, APRIL 2023
“In 2017, intense Cabernet fruit character supplies the ‘bold and the beautiful’ in this gorgeous blend, while Merlot adds velvety texture, Cabernet Franc violet aromatics, and Petit Verdot a lively acidity in the glass.”
– KIMBERLEE NICHOLLS, WINEMAKER
