As my friend John says, TRB is wine Jesus. I think he makes liquid crack. Popped and poured, probably should have decanted as the nose was somewhat muted and a little grapy initially, took about 30 mins to warm, and open up into something truely amazing. Plush red fruit, vanilla and lingering kiss of lavender on the nose. Hits the palate with an initial flood of ripe red plums and a slightly lesser note of black berries. Nice cleansing acidity with a hint of sweetness on the midpalate. Very fine grained tannin adds to the structure and elegance of this wine. Its faminine and soft but not plump or flabby - more Vargas than Rubens. This is Cali cab at its best. It caresses your your nose, pampers your palate and leaves you with a vague sense of sadness and inadequacy when its gone. I'm thinking about mortgaging my house.
