March 23, 2016 - An outstanding WA Cab that sings all the way to an extended finish. A big wine that needs a big meal but it is at it's peak drinking window.

By Sean Sullivan
3/8/2011 (link) ***** points(EFESTE Big Papa Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley) Incredibly dark in color. Stains the glass. A cabernet prototype of cherry, licorice, and light herbal notes on an aromatically intoxicating wine. A beautifully expressive palate with a velvety feel and a lingering finish. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged 19 months in French oak (87% new). 14.46% alcohol. 700 cases produced.
