  An excellent example of the varietal. Big, bold (if a bit young), heavy typical cab fruits you've read in lots of tasting notes, moderate tannins. Juicy. Would (will) buy again.

  Earth tones, leather. Definitely young. Could use a few years in the cellar. Drinking well - smooth with good depth. Will wait on the rest.

  Retail $50. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Big Ass Bottle. I have been receiving Flora Springs wines now for a few years and even though I am not a huge fan of Bordeaux varietal wines, I *love* the wines from the Napa stalwart (despite their overly heavy bottles, grrrr) and this Cab is no exception. Dark, and perhaps brooding in the glass with dark berry fruit (cassis, blackberry), plum, along with secondary notes of vanilla, chocolate, and even anise. The palate embraces much of what the nose suggests, along with an intense tartness, some earth, and integrated but still noticeable tannins. Whoa. Yeah, I am not a staunch Cabernet kinda guy, but this wine is trying really hard to convert me. Whoa.
