You could blind-taste this and know it’s a fancy Napa Cab from the lush tannins. Any ripe wine can hit the blackcurrant, plum and cherry notes, but few can achieve this level of smoothness. Coats the palate like a single-malt Scotch, with luxury and smoothness that carry into the long finish. Delectable now.——S.H.(11/15/2003)—— 93
