  Retail $60. Very Responsible bottle (477g; 1lb 0.9oz). 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. I have tasted several vintages of Bibiana's wines, close to two cases in total, but this is only the second Cabernet Sauvignon (the other was way back in 2016). Given the appellation (Napa Valley), I had a preconceived notion; I assumed this would be big, overly fruity, and intense. Well. None of that. Sure, there is fruit, but it is balanced with a nice acidity and a very approachable "vibe" (I am not sure how many Napa Cabs are described using the word "vibe"). It all works, however, and this is a quaffable wine that is ready to enjoy now.
