Such a delicious treat that is deeply colored & ruby, trending purple; almost inky, staining the glass with each swirl.

Pronounced aromas & flavors of concentrated creme de cassis, ripe blackberry, muddled blueberry, mulberry, luxardo cherry, sandalwood, cedar, sweet tobacco, mocha, nutmeg, cardamom, anise, licorice, clove, graphite, vanilla, creme brûlée, pencil shavings, crushed gravel, & flint.

The palate is dry, viscous, mouth-filling, & opulent, with elevated acidity, alcohol (14.1% ABV), silky tannins & a persistent finish. It’s balanced, intense, & complex.

A superb 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wine from Napa’s western bench, that is soooooo drinkable now but has the structure to age & add layers to the aromatic profile with time. — 13 hours ago

Auction wine. Broken cork. Again. Wine was at base of the neck. I think cakebread got a batch of bad corks. No wine into the cork and they all broke right at the end. Not sure how it affected the wine but it’s been a consistent issue

Wine exhibited some decent fruit but no real depth or grip. Very smooth and medium body but missing some power and complexity expected from this site.

Fantastic Cabernet…. Paired incredibly well with our slow braised short ribs… jammy, dark fruit, and semi bold. Got another bottle that I’m going to let sit a little longer and compare. — 3 months ago
