This silky smooth Cabernet blend dazzles with dark fruit and velvety smooth tannins melded together harmoniously for a supremely impressive wine experience now through the next decade. In fact, the 2017 single barrel bottling reminds us of opulent favorites trading for $200+ per bottle. The bouquet boasts captivating aromas of chocolate walnut brownies that lead to seductive layers of dark fruit complimented by seamlessly integrated French oak. Intensely satisfying hints of black cherry, baking spices and toffee linger on the scintillating finish. Thanks to an awe-inspiring texture and integration of flavors, this relative bargain may be enjoyed tonight (decant ½ hour) and merits a 96+ rating now and 97+ over the next decade. Bravo!
