- Crafted with the passionate, uncompromised pursuit of quality, this wine ages in small French oak barrels in cool caves for 16 months. Dark purple. Intense and complex bouquet of red, black, and blue berries intermixed with notes of blueberries, Crème de Cassis, plum, cedar, and a hint of cedar and cigar box. Full-bodied, the palate is reminiscent of the nose, with a creamy texture and great intensity. Crafted with the passionate, uncompromised, and ongoing pursuit of quality, this judicious blend comes from the finest barrels of our manicured vineyards on the Oakville Bench and the foothills of Knights Valley and St. Helena.
Crafted with the passionate, uncompromised, and ongoing pursuit of quality, this judicious blend comes from the finest barrels of our manicured vineyards on the Oakville Bench and on the foothills of Knights Valley and St. Helena. As the French say, “Je t’aime, un peu, beaucoup, passionnément!” (I love you a little, a lot, passionately!) Dark purple with an intense and complex bouquet of red, black, and blueberries intermixed with notes of Crème de Cassis, plum, cedar, and a hint of cigar box. Full-bodied, the palate is reminiscent of the nose, with a creamy texture and great intensity. The luscious tannins, the intense aromatic complexity, and its opulence create a flamboyant yet harmonious ensemble, leading to a very long, complex, and smooth finish. This ‘ne plus ultra’ will age gracefully for decades. Passionnément “possesses terrific concentration, full-bodied power, and a stunning, multidimensional mouthfeel and finish. This exceptional wine should drink well for 30+ years.” Robert M. Parker, Jr. The Wine Advocate, December 2010

An intense and complex bouquet of red cherry and blackberry is intermixed with notes of minerals (graphite, wet river rocks), liquorice, fresh blond tobacco, and a hint of fresh blackcurrant. Full-bodied, the palate is reminiscent of the nose, with a richly tannic yet round frame and with outstanding finesse. Our unique estate lies on the western foothills just north of St. Helena. Shallow loamy topsoil, rocky alluvial subsoil, and total sun exposure create ideal conditions for our Cabernet Sauvignon vines. |
