Again, an over-sized bottle accurately predicts the size of the wine. Ripe dark fruit flavors and even a hint of chocolate lead in this robust Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. A few savory notes — spice and herbs — peek out as it sits in the glass. Its 14.8 percent stated alcohol appears as a bit of warmth in the finish. Its lushness is very appealing and the silky suave texture makes it easy to enjoy with a grilled steak for those who embrace this style of Cabernet.
