Wednesday, June 1, 2011 - "Steak and Cab freak out!" aka "Big Wednesday" (Meritage (Encinitas, CA, USA)): This was a special magnum bottling from Premiere Napa Valley (PNV) available from Meritage, Encintas, CA.
Dark and massive! I get olive tapenade and pronounced sweetness on the nose. Tons of flavors; earth/mineral, dark berries, cassis, along with a fair amount of oak. Very big, very new world, and very good. Excellent aging potential. 93+ points.
