Retail $25. 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Shiraz. Big Ass Bottle. This is the 13th vintage of Geyser Peak's upper-end Cab and it is pretty tasty. I tried the flagship Cab yesterday and that one, at ten bucks, is tough to beat from a value standpoint, but this is certainly a step up on the quality scale. Fruity and a bit brooding on the nose with plenty of dark berry fruit. The palate is a bit livelier than one would expect from the nose as it is driven from start to (above-average) finish by a tangy acidity. There is plenty of fruit (and a hint of tannin), though, rendering this quite pleasant quaff quite balanced. Another solid value from the folks at Geyser Peak.

Decent aroma with dark fruit predominant. Decent flavor of blackberry and cassis but a bit short in the finish

Deep ruby in color with moderate intensity. Nutmeg, black cherry, fig, and prunes. High acid, high tannins, full body and medium finish length.
