This 6 year old is starting to drink beautifully now. In your face kind of wine, and nicely balanced. Spicy and entertaining. This Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine. Good by itself or with food. A good sipping wine. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged for 20 months in 90% New French Oak barrels and 10% New American Oak barrels. A tiny production of only 6 barrels. 14.5% alcohol by volume. 92 points. $95.
