Score 95/100 · Drink 2025-2045, Jeb Dunnuck, Dec 2025

The flagship release from the estate vineyard on Spring Mountain, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Rattlesnake was aged 22 months in 93% new oak. On the nose, brilliant red, blue, and black fruits are intermixed with candied violets, orange blossom, and spicy, herbal undertones, and this beauty is medium to full-bodied, has a pure, graceful, layered mouthfeel, terrific overall balance, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This classy, classic mountain Cabernet will keep for 15-20 years. Drink 2025-2045.

A well-balanced, complex and composed red that should age nicely. A full body and firm, fine-grained tannins interlace with intricate, layered flavors of black cherries, spearmint, dark chocolate and cedar. Good intensity and focus. Drinkable now but best from 2033.
