$52, 3 stars, 89 points, cabernet sauvignon, Napa, napa cabernet


Medium dark purple in the glass.  Plum, cassis, blackcurrant on the nose.  On the palate- great integration of dark purple fruits, oak, tannins and some cocoa dust. The midpalate is very concentrated on the plum core, relinquishing nothing to the structure and concentrating mainly on the fruit.  The wine is definitely Napa in flavor, full of sunshine, fresh tannins and plum flavors.  It reeks of new world boldness, extraction and does not shy away from its 14.5% alcohol (which is well hidden)  The acidity is somewhat muted but present nonetheless.  This wine is ready to drink now and has some cellaring potential- albeit not long term.  89 points and 3 stars for its $52 price point.  Salut….
