here's one for the cellar, not just because the tannins are so aggressive, but because the wine is so balanced. with alcohol only 13.8%, it's dry and rich in black currant fruit, almost a throwback to the napa cabernets of old that aged so well. it possesses a dry, elegant sophistication that stands in deliberate contrast to today's gooey, sweet style. best 2009–2015, if not longer, with proper cellaring.
