Tough in mountain tannins to the point of astringency, this 100% Cab demands cellaring. But even through the hardness you can taste a flamboyantly ripe, exuberant wine just waiting to bust out. With a terrific heart of black currants, briary blackberries, anise, sandlewood and cedar, it should have no trouble negotiating the next decade, if not longer. Best 2009–2013. ——S.H.(11/1/2008)—— 93
