A hugely bombastic, tannic Livermore Valley Cab that stays with you, the dark cherry lingering and lingering until the espresso-tinged finish. The wine is a testament to Livermore Valley’s (and winemaker Collin Cranor’s) propensity for Cab. The wine is sourced from the Del Arroyo Vineyard, with 6% Petit Verdot blended in.——V.B.(12/1/2011)—— 89
