A powerful wine, this is only the fourth reserve Cabernet Sauvignon ever made by Abeja. Thick, black and redolent of new French oak, this is as close to a Napa Valley cult Cabernet as you will find this far north. The alcohol, which nears 16%, is beautifully handled and proportionate, but the wine’s style is over the top and not suited to every palate. Best to drink this over the next 3–5 years. — (4/1/2013) —95
