Retail $50. 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot. DIAM5. While I have tried more than my fair share of Napa Cabs, I would never claim that it is “my jawn” (Philly term). Medium color (at least for a Cab) in the glass with a sweet, fruity nose of black fruit (blackberry, cassis, plum), vanilla, and just a touch of chocolate. Yum. The palate is surprisingly reserved (particularly given the appellation) but good fruit, ample tartness, depth, and verve. Again, not my forté, but this is Excellent.

A sorta wooded up Napa Cabernet, and wooded up in a certain way - maybe some American oak to it? Nope, all french.
