description: The winery's top bottling, and this vintage recalls the tremendous 2000. Tastes important right off the bat, although it's also obviously young and unintegrated. New, smoky oak dominates, with themes of ripe, concentrated blackberries and cassis, but the tannins are hard as nails. Wants and needs time. Best well after 2013, and should develop for years beyond.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
designation: Signature
