but elegant and complex

This up and coming producer is making 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Lamb Vineyard on Howell Mountain

There is good muscle and punch to the broad-shouldered and attractively textured flavors that conclude in a firm and mildly austere finish that delivers excellent persistence

This is an interesting wine of contrasts as the mid-palate

The overtly powerful and concentrated broad-shouldered flavors display almost painful intensity before culminating in an explosively long and very firmly structured finish where once again a hint of bitter cherry appears

The Cabernet component in the blend is pronounced

which is common among the 2012 and 2013 Bordeaux varietals in Napa

There is a highly beguiling opulence to the textured

earth and subtle secondary nuances is followed by remarkably fine and pure

It has a certain aroma that I cannot define that I also found in the 2011 Valbuena

lemonzest and mossy notes

even viscous texture
