pretty much as good as any cabernet out there, if not better, and at a fraction of the price you'll pay for the “cults.” if there was ever a wine made for the cellar, it's this one, the antidote for those who consider california cabernet a simple fruit bomb. completely dry, with exquisite tannins, its blackberry, currant, red licorice and oak-inspired flavors are massive and classic. hard to exaggerate how good this fine wine is. drink 2013–2020 and beyond.
