all the individual parts of this 100% cabernet are, in a word, gargantuan. yet somehow the wine maintains its balance. the fruit is unbelievably ripe and powerful, with black currants, plums and chocolate that veer into a slight, port-like finish. the tannins are thick and mellow, while oak adds rich notes of caramel. the result is a stupendously lush, delicious and heady wine. hold for up to 15 years.
