lush, rich, beguiling now. tastes fat and unctuous, like a pomerol despite being made from 100% cabernet sauvignon, offering a creamy wealth of cherries, currants, chocolate, anise, herbs, spices and smoky oak. for all the flamboyance, it's bone dry, with classically solid napa tannins, courtesy of fruit from oakville and howell mountain. should develop in the bottle through 2018.
