Ok, let's just say that if red wine was all that was left after the Apocalypse, I would have no problem surviving. If all that was left was this Carl Roy cab I would consider myself the luckiest man left on the planet. I have tasted so many cabs in my day, but never one I would rate as highly as this. From start to finish, this is by far the best I have ever had....and not best on average score. Best in each and every category, nose, entry, midpalate and finish. Did I mention how it actually tastes? I have had a few structurally perfect wines that tasted quite good but not great. This Carl Roy wins on taste, too. Hands down. I've never personally rated any wine higher than 93 in my life. I don't know what a 97 or 98 is but this feels like it. I wish Wineaccess had 6 stars on it's histogram for this one. There better be more of this available soon, or I am gonna be one cranky wino.......

An absolute favorite. I bought it twice Phil

This was the second bottle of wine opened for Christmas dinner served with big, thick tenderloin steaks and a red wine sauce. I've forgotten what the first one was but it did come from WA. But this wine blew me us away. For me there was a big hit of Napa tar, like a Howell Mtn. wine. But where some of those are so tannic they never come around this one mastered the task. Delicious!
