this is pure cabernet from red mountain's klipsun vineyard; there is nothing subtle or gentle about this wine. it's a powerhouse, sharp and astringent, with edgy flavors of berry and granite. the rock/mineral component dominates the finish, which lingers and gently fades. overall, this is a wine to cellar and to watch; it tastes like a high-altitude malbec from a 7,000-foot argentine vineyard.
