the grapes come from three vineyards: georges iii in rutherford, tokalon in oakville and stagecoach, up on atlas peak. that helps explain the wine's beauty. it's pure california, cult-style cab, soft and generous, with voluptuously ripe black currant and black cherry flavors elaborately enriched with spicy, smoky, 100% new french oak. my only quibble is that it could use a little more subtlety.
