High-end stuff, the cutting edge of what Napa is doing with Cab. The fruit is exquisitely ripe, the quintessence of black currants, but this density is balanced by lightness and grace. The mouthfeel is round and soft.
A tremendous effort, dark, ripe, rich and concentrated, with beautifully defined blackberry, currant and black cherry fruit. Firms up nicely on the finish where chewy tannins provide backbone and structure.
This is one of the vintage's classy and complex efforts....gorgeous perfume of graphite, liquid minerals, creme de cassis, and subtle toasty oak....impressive levels of concentration/extract.
