Tasted by Kenneth on

Generous mountain Cabernet Sauvignon drinking incredibly smooth and balanced.

Deep, layered and seamless, with concentrated dark fruit, chocolate, graphite and cedar carrying through a long finish. Full-bodied and powerful without being heavy, with excellent depth and balance. This has developed beautifully and is clearly in its prime. Given its Pritchard Hill pedigree and the much higher prices of many neighboring wines, it’s a pretty impressive value for mountain-grown Napa Cabernet.
