Dark, spicy and deeply flavored, this Cabernet is dense and concentrated in blackberry and cassis flavors, with a stony minerality at its core. The fruit is so ripely expansive, it tastes sweet on the finish, yet the wine is utterly dry. It’s good now despite the hard mountain tannins, but should begin to blossom after 2014.——S.H.(8/1/2011)—— 91
