Expert Review - Vintage 2023
Decanter 93 Points | A wine of pure pleasure, From wine maker, Josh Phelps. Mixed berry, fruit and cherry compote lift out of the glass with hints of candied violets and brown baking spices. Medium bodied with all the same aromatics making appearances on the palate, framed by crisp tannins with velvet edges, finishing with cool graphite minerality and a hint of graham cracker and vanilla with crushed cocoa nibs nuances. Like I said, pure pleasure.
Winemaker Description
Black cherry and cassis framed by cocoa, cedar, and a streak of graphite. Supple fruit and steady tannins meet in balance—Cabernet that speaks with ease and quiet depth.

Lifted ripe black cherry and sweet cedar aromas welcome you to a rich, silky red grounded in freshly picked blackberry, exotic cocoa notes, and a long finish. Josh Phelps and his dad, Chris (formerly of Caymus), pair this with their famous Merlot burgers
Dark garnet red in color, the 2021 Grounded Cabernet Sauvignon leads with warm aromas of ripe black cherry, espresso, vanilla, and clove. The well-structured palate displays a round, luxurious mouthfeel and notes of cedar, forest floor, clove, and anise that extend through the generous finish.
Blend: 79.3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10.8% Merlot, 6.5% Cabernet Franc, 3.4% Petit Verdot
James Suckling writes: Savory and spicy red with a plush, fruit-forward palate. The nose shows ripe red berry, crushed herb and crushed stone notes, following through to a medium body with a chalky texture and mellow fruit character. Drink now. - James Suckling 90 Points (v. 2021).
