Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose of black fruits, cedar, wild flowers, vanilla, chocolates and spices.
Full-bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Showing blackberries, cooked cherries, blueberries, cedar, licorice, cola, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, black pepper, light earth and bitter herbs.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich and extracted. Nicely balanced and fruit forward.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime.
This 18 year old is showing a great nose at this point.
I had a few vintages of this wine and it is always delicious.
Will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with fillet mignon.
14.3% alcohol by volume.

Solid SB. More round with the oak influence that took away the brightness I would look for in a SB. I guess I’m not really into BDX white blends. — 2 months ago

Deep, rich aromas of leather and black fruit. Silky mouthful with easy tannins. Excellent sip! — a month ago

Very muted in the nose… hardly anything at first, fresh saltiness, barely a hint of green apple & lemon peel. And yet, fresh & enticing.
And then, on the palate this sings! Simply beautiful! With a touch of roundness & creaminess on the palate but also vibrant acidity, salinity, stony minerality. Ripe yellow apple & lemon. Vibrant, juicy and quite complex. Great depth & length.
A benchmark for Chablis & delish! — 17 days ago
