Sorry, but – it is SURREAL to have this BV cab at the best price ANYWHERE! ***Pooooof*** – yup, put a stick in us and turn us over, we’re DUNZO!! 2016 vintage...surely you remember...one of the baddest, most insanely perfect growing seasons in Napa’s centuries of grape growing? Toss in 100-point winemaker Trevor Durling, who is only the FIFTH winemaker in the nearly 120 years of BV – and you have a recipe for something special.
78% cabernet sauvignon, 7% syrah, 6% petite sirah, 4% touriga nacional, 3% malbec, 2% other...this is a veritable tapestry of vinous perfection. Deep and rich with red and black berry notes, toasted anise, roasted herbs, blood orange, minty freshness, sandalwood – myriad spices that morph and change in the glass, roses, exotic mochas...wow. This just SOARS with polish and quality. A cabernet monster that goes Godzilla on Tokyo over nearly ANY $22 California cabernet we’ve tasted...in like, eons of being in this biz.
Ever seen Al Pacino in "Scent of A Woman"? Well, one glass of this has me shouting “Hoo-ah” with ever greater frequency and intensity. That’s how good this is. Get yours before it’s gone!
This Cabernet Sauvignon truly expresses its Rutherford AVA sourcing with tremendous saturation of color, aromas and flavors. The nose is ripe with fresh dark blackberry, black cherry and cassis notes alongside nuances of floral violet and sweet oak spices. On the palate, there are darker fruit notes supported by hints of dark chocolate and anise seed. The structured “Rutherford dust” tannins are fine grained and more rustic in style for this vintage, showcasing the signature fine cocoa powder texture and expansive mouthfeel. Incredibly elegant and balanced, with vibrant acidity from the perfect growing season provides concentration, depth and freshness on the finish.
