GKG Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2012
Classic Dave Phinney, this Cab is a dead ringer for his Mercury Head production. Wave after wave of creme de cassis, black cherry, anise and baking spices delights the palate. The tannins are super-fine, creating a subtle structure that carries the fruit from start to a 30-second finish.
