"The tannins offer a tight grip of dusty astringency, but the fruit is so ripe, so lush that this 100% Cab is immediately delicious. It’s the essence of mountain Cabernet: waves of blackcurrants and blackberry jam, with suggestions of mushu plum sauce, ripe, savory blueberries, cocoa and anisette liqueur. New French oak adds even richer notes of vanilla and buttered toast. The impression is of fabulous quality. So pure and delicious, so sweetly and softly elegant, you just can’t stop sipping. There are few places on Earth this Cabernet could come from other than Napa Valley. I suppose it will age for a long time." - Steve Heimoff
