  4/9/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 95 Points

  Retail $120. Exceedingly Heavy Bottle (863g; 1lb 14.4oz)). 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. I have mentioned before that Covenant is one of my favorite producers. There are a few reasons for that but out of all of the winery's offerings, this might be the wine I look forward to trying the most. And I am far (even really far) from a "lover of Cabernet". So why this one? Well, this wine is fruity without being a fruit-bomb, powerful without being over-powering, and expressive without being over-the-top; each rare in Napa and all three? Virtually unheard of. Blackberry and cassis, forest floor and just a touch herbal, spicy while also chocolatey. There is a ton going on here simultaneously, all of which works. Again, I am no "Cab Guy" but this is, yearly, one of my favorite wines. 95 Points.
