It took me a while to get to this bottle, but holy hell, this is great! It's a blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Malbec, and 4% Petit Verdot that is gushing with flirty Mt. Veeder finesse. It has deep color, aromas of violet, lavender, chapparal, and blackberry jam. It has deep cassis fruit, but isn't really heavy on the palate, which is perfectly characteristic of Mt. Veeder in the southwest, relatively cool, elevated sector of Napa Valley. This red is really hard to put down, and paired with a steak it was heavenly. (96 Points)
