Tasting Notes

Dried fruit, dark cherry, sassafras, and Madagascar vanilla rise from the glass, followed by deeper, warm mountain-fruit tones. The palate is soft yet focused, with evolved tannins, refreshing acidity, and a long, complex finish.

Food Paring

Pair with grilled ribeye, lamb chops, or braised short ribs to complement the wine’s richness and spice. Hard cheeses or rosemary-scented dishes also work beautifully with its structure and freshness.

Professional Reviews

95 Wine Advocate

"The largest case production is the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Onda, which is essentially their second wine culled from the top lots of Lotus, Hershey, Helms and Crystal Springs. It’s a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot (888 cases) that spent 20 months in 70% new French oak. The wine is deep ruby/purple, exhibits crème de cassis notes with some incense and subtle charcoal. It’s medium to full-bodied, silky smooth and clearly meant to be the wine that most consumers would want to drink earlier than the more saturated and denser single-vineyard wines. This should drink nicely for at least another 10-15 years."
