Fragrant red, black, and blue fruits emerge, complemented by notes of cedarwood spice, graham-cracker crust, and a hint of wild herbs. Full-bodied with robust tannins, the wine boasts a finish marked by dark chocolate notes. This is a powerful red with a formidable tannin structure that will benefit from time in the cellar, best enjoyed between 2027 and 2035. Produced from the Kaufman family estate vineyard at the base of Atlas Peak, the wine comes from the 'Eva's' block on the flatter section of the vineyard. It is crafted by Ashley Hepworth.

A perfumed and expressive red wine, offering fragrant notes of wild herbs, sage, and violets, alongside hints of fine cocoa powder and toasty oak. Juicy and medium-bodied, it is framed by lacy tannins and balanced by bright acid tension and crushed-stone minerality. The tannins build gracefully toward the finish, leaving a lingering stony character that remains in the empty glass, beckoning another pour. Produced from the Kaufman family estate vineyard at the base of Atlas Peak, the wine comes from the hillside 'Jonas' block and is crafted by Ashley Hepworth, formerly of Joseph Phelps.
