Robert Parker's Wine Advocate rated it 96 points, highlighting cedary and menthol-scented notes joining ripe cassis and black cherry aromas, with a full-bodied, velvety texture and a refreshing crisp finish. James Suckling also scored it 96 points, describing it as tight and closed with a solid core of fruit, pretty blackberries, blackcurrants, walnuts, and a hint of nutmeg. 【This wine is made in minute quantities (around 212 cases), making it as exclusive as almost any bottle in Napa.】 🍴 Food Pairing: This powerful and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon pairs exceptionally well with rich red meats and hard cheeses. Recommended pairings include dry-aged ribeye or porterhouse, roasted rack of lamb with herbs, braised short ribs, and aged cheddar or Parmesan cheese. 🥂 Event Suggestions: Given its exceptional quality, rarity, and aging potential (drink 2025–2040, with some suggesting 30+ years), this wine is perfect for significant celebrations, high-end dinner parties, or as a prized addition to a serious wine collection.
