This is among the bigger, riper, more opulent Cabs out there. It’s classic New-World style Napa Cabernet, a cult wannabe made in extremely limited quantities aimed at a mailing list. It’s quite rich and soft in black currants, chocolate and cedar, with highish alcohol.

Made in the softly generous, voluptuous modern style, with considerable alcohol, this Cabernet is vast in blackberry jam, cassis, chocolate and sweetly caramelized flavors, wrapped into smooth, intricate tannins. Doesn’t seem likely to age, but a dazzler in its flashy youth.
