Inky black, it reveals terrific concentration, with a wide array of lush and powerful flavors that include smoky chocolate mole, blueberry jam, cassis, and dark black truffle pudding then crescendo with a long finish that includes slightly toasted oak combined with a hint of smoked game and roasted herbs.

Offering up aromas of cassis and pipe tobacco, the 2009 Reserve de la Comtesse presents itself as a perfect second wine from the chateau.

Showing off a silky, sultry texture, the 2012 Joseph Carr Coombsville is a lovely example of full-throttle Napa Cab at a modest price.

Enjoy tonight after decanting for a distinguished experience we expect to mature gracefully through 2025.

This is a sexy and opulent Cabernet that is going to turn heads for the next decade.
