Restaurant purchase (Harris' Restaurant, SF 13.9% abv, $99 vs $47 avg retail). Served at room temperature with Filet Mignon and accompaniments.
Wine ('Fluffy Billows') is from the Meyer Family Vineyard in Oakville, Napa Valley. A deep royal purple color in the glass, Nose is of Ripe Red Berries and aged Oak. There are intense fruit flavors of Dark Cherry and Cassis on the palate with a hint of spice. Subtle, but complex, wine is satin smooth with a fullness in the mouth. Subdued Tannins end in a long pleasant finish.

Had this cabernet with a rib roast and honestly and though this is a very unique cabernet. Its a bit softer, but still has plenty of flavor- a bit of a mushroom/earthiness rounded out with some silky tannins. Medium/dark hue with a great fruity nose.

A nicely made wine. Well polished and concentrated without massive extraction. Compared to its peers with a few exceptions this is a very good value.
