this is terlato's ambitious entry into the cult cabernet lottery. based on cabernet sauvignon, with merlot, petit verdot and cabernet franc, it's an elaborate wine, deep and long in blackberry, cherry, currant, mocha and sandalwood flavors. the tannins are impressive, yet young, giving a tough, astringent mouthfeel. but ageability is brought into question by some superripeness, in the form of raisins.
