Elegant and silky-textured from the get-go, this hedonistic wine (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) is already quite drinkable. Black currant, bramble fruit, cedar, graphite and pickling spice are packed into a fresh, full-bodied frame. Despite being listed as 15.2%, the alcohol is nicely integrated, as are the oak and silky tannins. Dense in the middle and long on the finish, this is one that will provide maximal pleasure over the next decade. Drink now-2026.

I just received my allocation from Quixote and couldn't resist cracking open a bottle. Quixote cabs are typically very approachable and deliver good Napa fruit with a smooth finish. This particular wine was no exception. This cab was not as full-bodied as other Quixote vintages, but was still every bit as enjoyable.

Delicious... Silky, deep and wonderful. All it was set up to be. Shined with the ribeye that it was paired with....
