Winemaker Notes
Black cherry, plum, warm vanilla and espresso bean on the nose. Huge entry on the palate leads to a rich, dense mid palate with round, chewy tannins. Long finish driven by black fruit notes and hints of toasted oak.
Pair with red meat including prime rib, New York strip and filet mignon, alongside peppery sauces.
Blend: 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Malbec, 4% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc

COMMENTARY: The vintage 2020 10,000 Hours Red Blend is steady and robust on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of black fruit, licorice, and oak. Enjoy it with an oven-roast, savory chuck roast. (Tasted: November 2, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

James Suckling
Floral aromas, with blueberries and hints of vanilla that follow through to a medium body with fine tannins and a fresh finish. Refined and delicious already, but better in a year or two.

Jeb Dunnuck
The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is better, with more balance as well as complexity. Red and black fruits, toasted spice, dried flowers, and spicy oak all define the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a round, supple, elegant texture, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. Drink it over the coming decade. Best After 2022

Wine Spectator
Generous yet well-structured, with layered black currant, bay leaf and savory spice flavors that gather tension and tannins on the finish.
-
Wine Enthusiast
The aromas offer notes of dried orange rind, black cherry, violets, blue fruit and potting soil. Full-feeling flavors follow, showing density through the middle. Give it time for the tannins to settle or decant.
