A blockbuster wine and a complete stunner, this great Cabernet wine was sourced from the Wallula Gap Vineyard. This was aged in 70% new French oak (predominantly from Troncais and Alliers) and 30% neutral French oak prior to bottling. The Cabernet begins with simply intoxicating aromatics of crème de cassis, anise, red bell pepper and coffee grounds all taking shape. The complex aromatic profile constantly brings you back to the glass for more. Crushed mint, black tea, black cherry cough drop and sage flavors impress and add additional sexy layers. This is massive, structured and absolutely gorgeous, as Billo Naravane has slugged a home run with this profound Cabernet Sauvignon. Only 62 cases produced. (Best 2018-2035) - June, 2017 (OB)
