Luxurious, silky, vibrant Bordeaux style red blend at its peak.
OB97, WA 93-95 (barrel sample).

85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot.

9 barrel limited production.
15.1% ABV.

Creme de cassis, blackberry, black currant, mocha, graphite, anise, tobacco leaf, black tea, Rutherford dust, charcoal, and cigar box. Just beginning to show signs of age.

This is an opulent, plush and silky wine with stronger tannins that has a sophisticated mouthfeel with vibrant and perfectly balanced acids.

Wow. Fifteen years old and going strong. Drinks like it could last another decade. Bravo! Sad he nixed Nils or they'd all be this good

Brought it with us to Ruth Chris for a fabulous Father's Day treat. RP gave it 98 points and I totally agree. Could've cellared it for many more years to come but 2013 was an amazing year for cabs in Napa. Stewed fruit and cinnamon and nutmeg spice notes with a beautiful lasting finish.
