A stylish, structured Cabernet from a famed vineyard that shows its pedigree, with lively blackberry, currants, vanilla, spice and traces of earthy minerality. Taut acidity and structured tannins need a bit of time to fully integrate, but this wine promises to be a full throttle Napa Valley beauty. I’d start checking in on my stash of this in about three years to see what it’s up to. Well done!
