a tremendous cabernet, showing the authority of its vineyard, high up in the vaca mountains. dry and full-bodied, this wine is spectacularly rich in blackberries, cassis and minerals and is well oaked. what's most remarkable is the quality of the tannins. they're firm, yet soft and sweetly refined. a tremendous accomplishment, and should develop in the bottle for a decade. at this price, an outstanding value.
