Pricey, yes, but Madrigal pulled out all the stops on this flashy wine, making it their best Cabernet ever. It’s a big, tannic and dry wine, stuffed with blackberry, currant and oak flavors. Voluptuous and dramatic, but it needs age, possibly a lot. Give it a rest until 2015 and see how it’s doing then.——S.H.(4/1/2012)—— 93
