Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines

High ripeness is met by serious intent in this wonderfully rich, maximally extracted Cabernet, and, if somewhat sprawling and fairly crude in its youth, the wine wants for nothing in the way of fruity depth and sheer power. It runs afoul of grippy finishing tannins and flaring heat and therein finds its limits, but, at the end, its gifts of rich oak and lavish fruit persist and make its sins easy enough to forgive.

Inky ruby color. Pungent aromas of blackcurrant, cherry preserves, licorice and smoky Indian spices. Really exotic in the mouth, offering mineral-driven dark berry and bitter cherry flavors, with dusty tannins adding grip. The spice and mineral notes build with air and extend through the long, sappy, gently sweet finish. There's a strong suggestion of Pauillac showing today, and I don't think this would be out of place in a flight of high-end Bordeaux of similar age.
