All the wines are hand made from estate grown fruit. Vinification is done in a state of the art winery on the property. 100% new Taransaud French barrels are used for every vintage and the wines are aged in underground caves for 18 to 24 months before bottling without fining or filtration.
Wine Advocate
There are 1,300 cases of the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Paradise Hills Vineyard. Boasting delicious fudge-like aromas intermixed with blackberry, coffee bean, and pain grille scents, this super-rich, full-bodied effort displays a Graves-like, volcanic, scorched earth/hot stone element in its flavors. With moderately high tannin, it will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age, and should drink well over the following two decades. Both 2004s have put on considerable weight and performed significantly stronger out of bottle than they did from cask.
Score: 96.

Wine Enthusiast
Starts out black and inky, with the ashy, charry aroma that 100% new French oak brings to the tease of blackberry fruit. In the mouth, this is a very soft, almost sweet Cab, with the flavors of candied blackberries, caramelly peanut brittle, chocolate fudge and crème de cassis. It’s so rich and exotic, it’s almost obvious. Made by Helen Turley in the international style, huge and seductive. The estate vineyard is in Yountville, next to Dominu
