Flashy and decadent, this Cabernet Sauvignon is named after Chalk Hill’s owner. With 9% Petit Verdot for color and depth, it’s marked by very high alcohol, which gives it some heat, and extraordinarily deep, extracted black currant, dark chocolate and new oak flavors. Certainly impresses for sheer power and audacity, but its longterm future is a big question mark. ——S.H.(2/1/2012)—— 92
