A big, vital, 100% Cabernet from a mountain known for cellar-worthy reds. Strikes you right away with sheer deliciousness, offering potent blackberry, cherry, violet and chocolate flavors that are enhanced with sweetly smoked oak. Yet it has the tannic structure and inherent balance to improve in the bottle over the next 6-10 years.——S.H.(11/1/2010)—— 94
