“The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon The Albatross (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) is similarly deep purple-hued and has a more spicy, savory style in its red and black currant and plum fruits as well as notes of chocolaty oak, smoke tobacco, and scorched earth. Slightly broader and more concentrated, with velvety tannins, it’s another terrific wine in the lineup that has tons to love. It will keep for 10-15 years.”

“With an explosive nose, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon The Fog Kiona Old Block bursts from the glass with lush, ripe and bold black fruit aromas with skillful use of integrated oak lifting the floral bouquet. Full-bodied, the palate shows power and restraint, packing a balanced structure with lifting tannins and energetic acidity across the mid-palate. The wine ends with a long and thoughtful finish with juicy plum notes entwined with mocha and elegant oak flavors of cinnamon, vanilla and cardamom. 150 cases produced. Well done! I just might have to finish the glass.” – AM

“For a producer typically known for its brawny wines, this one has that but also a lovely sense of subtlety, with notes of chalk, cardamom and plentiful barrel spice. The peach flavors bring nuance with their creamy, full feel. A warm, fruit-filled finish caps it off.”
