Ordered off the list at Stella! after the 09 Antica Terra Botanica I brought was corked. Recalling from memory... expansive aromatics that give way to a complex palate of red and black fruit, incense, and Asian spice. The balance sets this apart...light on its feet, while still being intense...lively, structured and long.

An all-around top tier Napa Cabernet. Menthol, mocha, and cassis on the nose. Exceptional mouthfeel -- round and creamy without being heavy. A hint of spice and pepper add some complexity that builds on the finish.
