Retail $180. Under cork. Really, really, really Big. Ass. Bottle. It really amazes me how heavy these bottles are. As for the wine? While I loved the 2017, this wine is a decided step (or more) above. There is no information for this wine available online so I am going to assume that a) it hs not been released yet and b) it is 100% Cabernet. With that out of the way, holy smokes, this is good. Rich, unctuous, layered, this is just about everything one think when presented with a "Napa Cab" (including the utter ridiculous, environmentally destroying bottle--really? this is such a wonderful wine, do you need the Frankenstein bottle to sell it??). I had planned on waxing poetically about this wine's rich dark fruit, earthy undertones, mocha mid-palate, and silky tannins, but this bottle really ticks me off. Great wine. Really great wine. Stupid bottle. Really stupid bottle. Whoa (on both counts).

Powerful fruit, and then short mid palate and very short finish.
