Friday, October 17, 2014 - 2014 New York Wine Experience Trip; 10/14/2014-10/21/2014 (New York City, NY): Opaque crimson in color, this wine is heavily-extracted yet perfectly balanced. It is arguably the best Napa Cabernet of the 2010 vintage. Opulent on the nose and palate, it delivers black currants, bramble fruits, licorice, fig and Asian spices. Full-bodied and with low-to-medium acidity, it has nicely integrated alcohol (despite being listed as 15.5%) as well as beautifully woven tannins. Impressively layered in the middle and very long on the finish, it is simply stunning wine! With a few more years of cellaring it should get even better, then last for a couple of decades thereafter. Drink 2019-2040.
