This is a very fine Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine. It’s immense in extracted black currant and chocolate flavors that are framed in soft, luxurious tannins. Acidity is soft, too, but adequate. The overall impression is of high quality. Despite the mountain origin, it doesn’t seem like an ager, though, so drink now through 2009. ——S.H.(12/15/2006)—— 92
