“The least expensive red wine is the Optimus cuvee.
The 2005 Optimus (51% Syrah, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petit
Verdot)…offers classic chocolate, cassis, espresso, and subtle wood notes along
with a dense ruby/purple hue, gorgeous concentration, and plenty of spice,
cedar, and a Pauillac-like complexity and richness. This serious effort is more
French than Californian.” 94 points, Robert
Parker

Tanzer Review: Dark purple. Dark cherry and licorice on the nose, with subtle spice and underbrush qualities adding interest. Lush, creamy dark berry flavors possess display impressive weight but also good energy and focus, with slowmounting tannins adding shape. Finishes with impressive sweet persistence and a gentle tannic bite. Owner/winemaker Stephan Asseo likes the touch of austerity that petit verdot adds to the blend.
